Nelda Caplinger, Mohave Tech Prep
Tech Prep. It may sound weird, but it has huge benefits for parents and students. For example, students who are in high school and successfully complete Tech Prep courses can earn college credit before graduating, save college costs and time, discover new career options, and take advantage of an easy career game plan.
Its easy to do! Ninth and tenth grade students can see their guidance counselor in order to develop the Tech Prep career pathway game plan (the sequence of courses listing all of the needed courses from the current grade level into the first two years of college). Eleventh and twelfth grade students can see their counselor to find out which courses are Tech Prep ones, and then follow the remaining pathway plan from that point. Once the courses are successfully completed, there is no need to take them again at the college (this is earned college credit!). Its that simple, so spread the word!
