Tech Prep: Connecting Students To College
Graduation often marks a first step toward adulthood for high school students. However, many have given little thought to their next step, “What to do after graduation.” These students may find themselves floundering in search of a direction for their futures. Increasingly, more and more students have aspirations for higher education, but all too often, they are not prepared for college, sometimes not even knowing where to begin.
