What is Tech Prep?
Tech Prep is a national and state effort which emphasizes collaboration between high schools and Idaho technical colleges while preparing students for entry into the workforce.
High school technical programs prepare many students with basic skills in a particular vocation. Postsecondary programs teach basic skills and higher level skills designed to improve student opportunities for better jobs, higher wages and promotions.
In a Tech Prep program, high school and college instructors work together to design a seamless education system in which Tech Prep students can move from high school to college without having to repeat courses.
College credits earned through high school classes may be applied toward the following credentials at ISU, College of Technology:
- Bachelor of Applied Technology
- Associate of Applied Science
- Advanced Technical Certificate
- Technical Certificate
