Tell Congress tech prep works
Article Abstract:
Tech prep where students are prepared for specific career paths through both academic and technical courses in secondary and postsecondary education can provide advantages to both the students and the businesses hiring educated students. Congress may be considering cuts to tech prep funds which would have a strong negative impact because, though the funding level is low, federal support encourages schools to create partnerships with businesses and actively pursue tech prep programs.
