It does this by actively involving the student in the learning process. Articulation Agreements Tech Prep is also an articulation bridge from high school and vocational education to higher education. Many Tech Prep courses link directly to two-year associate degree programs at Maine's seven technical colleges, and on to the baccalaureate level at a Maine university. Tech Prep enables students to complete a cohesive, articulated sequence of integrated academic and vocational technical course work. Students who follow the entire Tech Prep pathway begin with applied academic courses and continue their studies in an associate degree program at on of Maine's technical colleges.
Students can then enter the workforce or transfer to a four-year college or university.
Business Partnerships Representatives from Maine's business and labor communities participate in Tech Prep by serving on Tech Prep councils or steering committees during program planning and implementation. They also work with educators to provide work-based learning experiences such as job shadowing and mentoring. The Educator's Role Tech Prep educators across Maine have been motivated to alter the way they teach. The goal of Tech Prep is to provide educators with new approaches to enhance the learning process and ensure that all students learn at the highest possible level.
