When Should I Apply? • Apply AFTER you have visited the College Tech Prep Initiatives of your choice. • Visiting the College Tech Prep Initiatives of your choice will be a VERY important step in this process. It is essential that you visit to learn as much as possible before you applyas you will be making in most cases, a two year commitment. • If you were ill on the visitation date, please see your school counselor to arrange for an independent visitation. • If you apply before you have attended the visitation day– PLEASE log back into your application and update the question asking if you have visited. Please remember that the “visitation” is highly valued by the screening and placement committee during their consideration.
Where is the Website to Apply? • Please become familiar with the Six District Educational Compact Website. It will become a source of important information for you now and in the future. There is a hyperlink at the end of this presentation to that website. • This is where you will find the application, or you may use the QR code on the back of the Career Catalog for 2014-2015.
