A new way of learning … College Tech Prep is a program that begins in the 11th grade of high school and continues through college at a two-year or four-year college. Students get to combine college preparatory classes with technical, career-based learning in the career labs at area schools.

A way to save money & time … Students get to earn college credits (for free!) while in high school and reduce the amount of time (and money) needed to finish their associate’s degree in college.

A career plan that interests you … Students learn more when they have an interest in what they are taught in the classroom and in the labs. If a certain career field interests you, start early and get ready for your future!
