SUNY Orange

Welcome to the Career Pathways in Tech Prep Program!

Mission and History

The Orange County Career Pathways in Tech Prep Program (Consortium) focuses on the development and enhancement of the academic and career and technical skills of secondary and postsecondary students enrolled in Career and Technical education. The Consortium includes SUNY Orange, Orange-Ulster BOCES, Minisink Valley School District, Newburgh Enlarged City School District, and Pine Bush Central School District. The college will provide leadership for coordinating the efforts of the Consortium; provide for the work of the career pathways/career cluster initiative within the region, and serve as the "point person" for all agencies wanting to engage in the work of the Consortium.

Consortium members will share expertise to develop and modify curriculum in the Career Clusters with the purpose of providing students with seamless Career Pathways from high school to 2-year college, to upper division baccalaureate graduation and/or employment. The overriding goal of all Consortium activities will be to motivate students by linking what they learn in school with the knowledge and skills they need for success in college and careers.
