What would you say if someone offered you a way to earn college credits while still in high school---at no cost? Tech Prep Delaware can do just that. Hundreds of our graduates move seamlessly each year to technical majors without having to repeat coursework. Students can earn from 2 to 12 credit hours at one of our thirteen colleges, or up to a 1-year waiver with our apprenticeship partners. This is like a scholarship to reduce tuition expenses.

All students in Delaware are required to choose a pathway when they enter high school. This decision should be based on the student’s interest in a potential career area. The enclosed brochure, “The Future Will Be Here Before You Know It,” was developed to help you make better decisions concerning high school pathways.

Please feel free to contact your local high schools to find out more about offering at your local schools. Schedule an appointment with a guidance counselor to talk about options, interests and what careers are available that match. An informed parent and student will make better educational choices.

At Tech Prep, our goal is to expand the career opportunities of our graduates.

Yours truly,
Tech Prep Delaware

What is a Career Pathway?
A career pathway is a course of study that prepares students for immediate employment in a cluster of related occupations and/or a seamless entry into postsecondary education.

Why Consider Post-Secondary Education?
