Program Office: Tech Prep Demonstration Program Fact Sheet
CFDA Number: 84.353This program provided grants to eligible consortia consisting of an LEA that provided vocational education at the secondary level, an IHE that provided technical education at the postsecondary level, and a business partner, to enable them to carry out Tech-Prep education programs that involved the location of a secondary school on the site of a community college and the voluntary participation of secondary school students. Tech-Prep vocational-technical education programs combined at least two years of secondary education preceding graduation with at least two years of postsecondary education, in a nonduplicative, coherent sequence of courses leading the student to an associate degree or certificate in a specific career field and to high-skill, high-wage employment or further education.
These were model projects designed to demonstrate the effectiveness of providing vocationaltechnical education for secondary Tech-Prep students on community college campuses.
