Post-high school options such as certificate and degree programs at institutions throughout Oregon
Dual credit opportunities of earning credit for high school and college-level courses at the same time
Entrance requirements for local colleges
Student organizations to join while still in high school
Professional organizations to help in your research

Qualities desirable in future employees

PAVTEC is a "tech prep" consortium composed of all of the K-12 school districts that are within the Portland Community College district boundary, the college itself, and several other entities. The purpose of PAVTEC is to enhance the access of high school and PCC students to quality professional technical education.

This encompasses a broad scope ranging from career development and guidance programs to technical skill development instructional programs. PAVTEC coordinates a number of programs and services including the dual credit ("articulation") programs for high school students called Professional Technical (PT) and Lower Division Collegiate (LDC).
