Texoma's Leader in Career Preparation!

The North Texas Tech Prep Consortium is an organization of Independent School Districts, community colleges, business/industry/labor, and government representatives working together to make changes in education to meet the needs of the workforce of tomorrow. Tech Prep is an educational concept which prepares students for emerging, technologically advanced careers. Tech Prep career pathways focus on integrating both technical and academic courses in the high school curriculum to give students the basic knowledge they need to learn specialized concepts. Tech Prep gives students options! Instead of a single track to nowhere, students are given pathways to everywhere! The Tech Prep pathway gives students what they need to be employable or to continue their education after high school graduation. Tech Prep:

   challenges students to develop higher level skills

   involves critical thinking

   encourages problem-solving

   encourages team building

   develops self-management

   encourages decision making

   and responsibility

The goal of Tech Prep education is to prepare students equally for entering college or the workforce. Tech Prep goals are critical to a student's personal and occupational success. The process of Tech Prep involves teaching what students really need to know.

TECH-PREP means PREParation for high-TECHnology careers.

Tech Prep programs challenge students and effectively prepare them to live and work in a highly technological society. These programs provide the type of workforce our nation needs to compete effectively in a global economy by focusing on the skills needed by business and industry.
