What is Tech Prep?

 Tech Prep is a federally funded program that links high school and college career and technical programs. Local high school students can earn community college credit for taking specific high school courses.

Tech Prep integrates rigorous academic coursework with occupational skills to provide students with a relevant educational experience. Tech Prep also connects learning to career pathways and provides students with the knowledge, skills and behaviors they need to compete successfully in the technologically advanced workplace of tomorrow.

Students enrolled in a dual enrollment course for college credit who require special accommodations due to disabilities or who need materials made available in an alternative format should contact the Disability Resources Office at 527-1222 ext. 243 or by email at disabilityresources@coconino.edu.
