Career Technical Education

Career Technical Education (formerly College Tech Prep) 

Lakeland’s Career Technical Education Office partners with nine Career Tech Planning Districts to support students from more than 70 high schools across Northeast Ohio. The Career Technical Education Programs offer specialized curricula aimed at preparing students for both college and careers in a range of high-demand fields. These programs start in high school and allow students to earn college credit, which can be applied toward certificates, associate degrees, and bachelor's degrees at Lakeland Community College.
