A seamless pathway is available from the Associate's Degree at Ohio State ATI to the Bachelor's Degree at Ohio State University. The consortium has offered countless professional development opportunities over the years to teachers of the technical as well as the academic portion of the curriculum. This program is supplemented by consortium marketing strategies that apply to all programs. This consortium also shares in the combined marketing efforts of the Northeast Ohio regional marketing of Tech Prep. The VEPD's provide administrative liaisons to serve on the Steering Committee and collect data from their particular programs.
Systemic changes are unique to each individual site.
Funds for joint activities have been combined with School to Work Grants, Early English Composition Assessment Grants, and a Closing the Gap Grant. Lack of substitute teachers presents a problem for professional development activities during the school year for the teachers in the consortium.
