Tech Prep Educational Consortium
of Western Virginia
Tech Prep . . . Opening Minds, Opening Doors
The Tech Prep office is located at Dabney S. Lancaster Community College (DSLCC) in the Gary Lee Miller Armory and Convocation Center in Room 648C. The Tech Prep staff works collaboratively with DSLCC faculty and staff as well as teachers and administrators in every public school division within the College's service area.
The Tech Prep curriculum is a planned sequence of secondary courses which have a common core of mathematics, science, communications and technology. As the student progresses into higher grades, he or she enrolls in courses that concentrate on a career path offered at the local vocational/technical center or high school. After high school graduation, the student is ready to enroll at a community college or in an apprenticeship program.
Tech Prep sponsors many specific events that promote student career planning and progression through high school, community college, and beyond.
For more information about these and other Tech Prep Events, please call Joyce Broughman at (540) 863-2923.
