Dual Enrollment/Tech Prep (CVTE)
Recent Activity- The Massachusetts Secondary Postsecondary CVTE Linkage Consortium is the new name for Bristol Tech Prep. In short we call it CVTE, which stands for Career and Vocational Technical Education. Throughout the state of Massachusetts, funding from the Perkins Act provides for CVTE Linkage programs, which are all located in community colleges. Our program is located at nearby Bristol Community College (BCC).
- The purpose of CVTE Linkage is to prepare students for a smooth transition to college. It encourages students to acquire proficiency in mathematics, science, communication and technological skills. CVTE offers a curriculum that will enable students to enter the work force, continue on to college for a Certificate, an Associates Degree, and on to a Bachelors Degree without experiencing retraining, delays and duplication of courses or loss of credit.
- CVTE offers articulated credits to high school graduates, as well as the opportunity to take free college courses at BCC. Students who are able and highly motivated and who maintain a 3.0 Grade Point Average (GPA) in their high school studies are encouraged to take free courses beginning in their junior year of high school. It is possible to take up to 5 courses between September of the junior year and graduation (one course per semester, including one course during the summer between the junior and senior years).
- The Perkins Act also requires that high schools make an effort to articulate agreements with other colleges and institutions as well as BCC. Diman currently has agreements with sev- eral colleges as well as two Labor Unions. Diman continues to pursue agreements for the purpose of encouraging students to seek out higher education beyond high school. See the Appendix for a listing of articulated agreements currently in place at Diman.
