The Tech Prep Consortium Database is a great way for both schools and businesses to help each other. Schools, both teachers and students, benefit by knowing which businesses in the area are willing to participate in youth apprenticeships, mentoring, internships and more. Businesses benefit by getting students to be part of their various programs, such as apprenticeships, and getting quality employees for the future.

Conducting a search is really quite easy. The most important thing to keep in mind is that it will search for everything that you ask it. There are two fields where you can type in a query, Business/Organization Name and City. There are three fields that have pull down menus, Cluster, Grade Level and Topics. All the other fields are checkbox fields.

Try a few searches, see how it works.
