PREP is an educational initiative to prepare students for
highly skilled/high wage careers. It is a seamless program of study
that begins in high school and continues at post-secondary education
levels. The program includes the following components:
Career awareness, assessment, exploration and planning. Students
choose their careers based on their own interests, aptitude, motivation
and values.
A 2+2+2 sequence of occupational and academic courses. Students
start with two in high school earning college articulated credit, transitioning
on to complete a two-year community college degree, and then another
two years for an optional baccalaureate degree at a four-year college
or university. In many cases, the community college has transfer arrangements
to the college or university in the chosen career path.
Relevant
internship experiences in the chosen career path. This provides
avenues for students to earn money, scholarships or employer-sponsored
tuition to fund the costs to complete a four-year degree.
