CTE College Credit
The Ohio College Tech Prep Regional Centers assist school districts, Ohio Technical Centers and colleges in developing meaningful programs of study.
For the past 23 years, Ohio has invested significantly in this concept and diligently worked to brand Tech Prep in Ohio on a national level. In 2013, the state transitioned all non-Tech Prep career-technical education programs to the high-quality College Tech Prep program standards. As a result, all career-technical education programs are synonymous with Tech Prep programs in Ohio and receive college credit.
Today, all programs are referenced as career-technical education programs. However, the Ohio College Tech Prep Regional Centers will preserve the integrity and well-established branding of Tech Prep by providing services in a professional manner that maintain the excellence inherent in Tech Prep.
