Career Technical Education Opportunities

What is Career Technical Education? Ohio College Tech Prep Career Technical Programs prepares students for high skill, high demand technical careers in a competitive global economy. Rigorous educational pathways emphasize math, science and technology and lead to postsecondary education. Educators, employers and communities collaborate to develop and deliver Tech Prep opportunities to all Ohio students.

Articulation Agreements High school students get a head start and graduate from a Career Technical Program equipped with choices: continue their education with knowledge in their chosen field, start their career, or do both at the same time. All programs include college credit that transfers to a community college or other higher learning institutions upon graduation when completing the appropriate course work.

Industry Alignment/Credentials LHS Career and Technical programs offer customized training programs that create partnerships between industry and educators that benefit both the local employer and students. Most career-technical programs offer industry certifications and/or college credit. Specific industry certifications are now part of one of three pathways towards graduation as approved by ODE.
