Upper Pioneer Valley Tech-Prep Consortium
What is Tech-Prep?
Greenfield Community College is both a member and coordinator of the Upper Pioneer Valley Tech-Prep consortium. One purpose of this consortium is to coordinate curricula between area high schools and Greenfield Community College to eliminate duplication of coursework and to streamline education in the changing technologies.
To facilitate the transition from high school to college, articulation agreements have been developed with area high schools, which allow students to earn college credit for competencies they have developed while in high school.
Additional agreements are continuously being developed. If you are entering GCC from a Tech-Prep member school, check with your guidance counselor for details regarding articulation agreements.
Other Tech-Prep related activities include: Tech-Prep career pathways days, career fairs, college placement testing, and college transitional services.
The high schools included in The Upper Pioneer Valley Tech Prep Consortium are Franklin County Technical, Frontier Regional, Greenfield High, Mohawk Trail Regional, Pioneer Valley Regional, Turners Falls High and Smith Vocational.
