Tech Prep, Youth Apprenticeships,& K-14 Partnership

Tech Prep

Students can gain free college credit and credit for prior learning for their high school learning.

Check your high school!

Tech Prep allows high school students the opportunity to acquire credit for prior learning through articulation agreements between their high school and NWTC. Articulation is the process of linking specific high school classes with specific NWTC classes so that students can gain free college credit and credit for prior learning for their high school learning.

Secondary students who qualify to enroll in an articulated class receive credit from their high school and are eligible to receive credit for prior learning from NWTC when they:

• Complete the class work for an articulated class at their high school;
• meet the credit for prior learning criteria, and
• become NWTC students within 27 months of high school graduation

K-14 Partnership

The K-14 Partnership is a group of selected K-12 and Northeast Wisconsin Technical College personnel working together to form an education partnership.

In the past, the K-14 Partnership has dealt with issues like: technology and distance learning; special populations; credit for prior learning/transcripted credit; professional development for high school instructors, and alternative high schools.
