Tech-Prep education is an alternative to the college prep course of study. The program prepares students for a highly skilled technical occupation that enables them to either enter the workplace directly as a qualified technician or continue their education?leading to a baccalaureate and other advanced degrees. Tech-Prep is a four-year sequence of study that begins in the 11th grade and continues through two years of postsecondary occupational education. Those who complete Tech-Prep receive a certificate or an associate degree. Tech-Prep is funded under two sections of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act through grants to states; funding is available for in-service training for teachers to implement Tech-Prep education.
