Tech Prep Program
for High School Students

Tech Prep is a national educational program intended to fully develop the academic, vocational and technical skills of high school students who elect to enroll in programs focused on vocational and technical education. It provides student with career direction and job skills to enable them to get employment. The curriculum is designed to give the high school students some experience in different career paths, and show the relevance of these paths in courses the students are studying.

Cerritos College Economic Development (CCED), actively participates in providing all students with program-to-program articulation*, guidance and activities that are directed toward vocational and technical career pathways. CCED partners with high schools, regional occupational program (ROP) and adult schools in creating a bridge to the community college, as well as encouraging further college study beyond their AA degree. CCED provides funds that assist districts in paying for job-shadowing activities ("Ground Hog Day"), career-oriented events (career fairs), leadership conferences ("Adelante Mujer"), and much more.
