Tech Prep Program
David
A. Janik, M.Ed., manager
The Tech Prep Program is an educational opportunity
for students to learn the highly competitive
technical skills needed to succeed in an ever-changing
work environment. Most of these two-year technical
and academic programs begin in the junior year
of high school, giving students the opportunity
to earn both high school and college credit.
Tech Prep programs prepare students for high
tech careers and advanced educational opportunities
through partnerships with BGSU Firelands; Sandusky
Career Center, EHOVE Career Center; high schools
in Erie, Huron, and Ottawa counties; the Workforce
Development Council; and business and industry.
Current
Tech Prep Programs include business management
technology,
engineering technology, health careers and technology,
exercise science, computer network technology, interactive media
technology, and teacher academy. These programs
are designed to offer students a broad-based
education in their desired field through high
school and college courses, preparing them to
enter the world of work and/or to continue their
education.
Eligible
students will:
- Be
juniors at their high school or seniors for
teacher academy;
- Have
a 2.5 grade point average;
- Have
earned a "C" or better in algebra
and biology;
- Have
