Cuyahoga Community College Tech Prep Guide
The North Coast Tech Prep Consortium is a partnership linking business,
industry and labor with secondary schools, Cuyahoga Community College,
and other postsecondary education institutions. The mission of the
Consortium is to provide advanced-skill education and training in
technology-related careers that will result in employment, a two-year
certificate or Associate Degree, and/or a Baccalaureate Degree.
Tech Prep develops proficiency in science, technology, engineering
and math. Tech Prep students earn college credit for coursework
completed in high school.
After
high school, students transition directly into a Cuyahoga Community
College two-year Associate Degree program or other postsecondary
education institutions.
Area
business and industry representatives help to design and update this challenging
curriculum to reflect real-world requirements in specific technical
areas. In addition to these specialized technical courses, Tech
Prep students take college prep academic classes.
Area
business, industry and labor also support the need for a 21st century
workforce by providing internships, early placement, part-time or
full-time summer employment.
Scholarships are available from the CCC Foundation.
