The College Tech Prep program held its annual "Transition Night" at Lorain County Community College on Nov. 1 for parents and high school seniors currently enrolled in the program.
The CTP is an opportunity for high school juniors and seniors to combine normal academics for preparation with college and technical or "applied" lab coursework to get exposure/experience in a specific career field.
"We want to make sure the students are ready for college," Sharon L. Fain, the director of CTP, explained .
The College Tech Prep was created in 1994 and started its first program in 1997. More than 1,000 graduates have been part of the College Tech Prep, who is soon starting an Alumni Associate for graduates.
Fain shared her experience attending college to be a veterinarian. She claimed at one point during her course study, she gave blood and passed out and realized she would never be a veterinarian because she couldn't stand the sight of blood. This ultimately led to her switching her major.
"CTP allows students to try out a career, to get the feel for it to see if they like it," Fain said. "You know, to find out if you pass out before you become a vet."
Fain said she would like to see students attend LCCC, but are happy just getting students to go to any college.
