TECH-PREP

Tech-Prep allows students the opportunity to earn

WWCC credits in a number of vocational program

areas while completing classes at Wa-Hi.

Tech Prep allows students to choose a vocational

area of interest early in their high school career

and to take classes that will prepare them for their

career pathway. Through these classes students

will gain knowledge and skill which will provide

a foundation for their future. In addition, Tech

Prep students may petition WWCC for credits

for designated competencies mastered in their Wa-

Hi classes. This allows students to move forward

in their post-secondary vocational training

without repeating coursework already taken at Wa-Hi.

Programs at Wa-Hi that have a Tech Prep option:

Agriculture Education, Automotive Mechanics,

Business Education, Industrial Technology,

Computer Technology, Careers in Education, and

Sports Medicine.

Planning for the future will be impacted by the

courses a student takes in high school. See pages

42-46 for Career Pathways. Career Pathways are

broad areas of study which provide a flexible

method of planning to achieve short and long term

goals.
