Preparation for the new and changing workplace......

Because of the rapid increase of technology and global economic competition today's students will need to enter the workplace at a higher skill level. Today's youth will need both intense technical and academic preparations to meet the needs of the new and changing workplace. More than 59% of the jobs in tomorrow's workplace will require skills greater than those provided by the existing educational programs. The new and changing work force will require education beyond high school.

A Tech-Prep program will benefit students whether or not they continue their education or enter the work force immediately after high school
