Tech Prep Partners

The success of the Tech Prep program depends on its secondary, post-secondary and educational and employer partnerships. The Executive Board of Directors, comprised of superintendents, principals, teachers, guidance counselors, college representatives, educational and industry partners, provides a conduit for feedback and information from various constituents.
