Alaska Tech Prep links secondary and postsecondary career and technical education (CTE) programs into an integrated program. In a Tech Prep program, the student begins courses of study in high school and continues in postsecondary, apprenticeship or workforce training programs. Students can earn college credit for courses they take in high school, enabling students to transition smoothly, avoid duplication, and successfully attain an industry recognized certificate or degree. Alaska Tech Prep is designed to prepare students to enter and succeed in postsecondary institutions or careers.

  • Tech Prep in Alaska has developed gradually due to the vast geographic separation of schools. But through the work of the recently formed Alaska Tech Prep Consortium, the best Tech Prep practices in Alaska are being identified and more student opportunities are being developed.
