NEW TECH PREP PROGRAMS, 2010-2011
More Tech Prep options for students - that’s the goal of the late winter/spring work of the consortium. High school and college faculty members will soon work together to develop new pathways and to take a fresh look at some existing pathways. Curriculum work will get underway shortly in the following programs:
New Pathways - Conversions to Tech Prep
Precision machining
Electronics
Robotics
Welding
Existing Pathways - Curriculum Review
Technical Theater
PALS (Procurement, Acquisitions, Logistics, Supply Chain Management)
Government and Public Administration
Are you planning to convert existing career/technical programs to Tech Prep or add new Tech Prep programs this spring? If you haven’t done so already, please notify Nick Wilson of your interest in these or other programs.
