Alaska Tech Prep
What is Alaska Tech Prep?

Tech Prep links a high school and college program in a career field so students won't have to duplicate those studies later on. In a Tech Prep program, you begin your course of study in high school and continue in a postsecondary educational or apprenticeship program. Tech Prep emphasizes achievement of high academic and technical standards to prepare for postsecondary success and career readiness. The end result is a certificate or associate degree in a career field or a federally recognized apprenticeship. MORE...
