How Tech Prep works
Students participate in a high school program that includes technical skills and applied academics. There are four primary areas of Tech Prep:
1. CAREER EXPLORATION – A career path intended to prepare students for high-skill technical occupations by linking high school and college education with future employment. Students investigate future careers to map out a plan.
2. HIGH SCHOOL APPLIED COURSES – These courses give a different approach to teaching core academic subjects through hands-on activities. Students learn through doing – labs, fieldwork, and other activities.
3. DUAL CREDIT COLLEGE COURSES – Students can receive high school and college credit for specific courses that have been approved. These classes are taught at the high school, and upon completion students may apply to receive credit and a grade on an official San Joaquin Delta College transcript. This creates a smooth transition from high school to college.
4. COLLEGE PROGRAM OF STUDY – Students finish their course of study at San Joaquin Delta College, or transfer their SJ Delta credits to a four-year college.
