Teacher Recruitment Education and Preparation Program (TREP)
The Teacher Recruitment Education Program and Preparation program exists to create opportunities for qualified students in an educator career pathway to concurrently enroll in postsecondary courses for up to two years after the 12th grade year.
Benefits of the TREP Program
- It's PWRFUL--this is part of the Postsecondary & Workforce Readiness (PWR) pathway. TREP provides an accelerated opportunity for students to earn a postsecondary credential, helping students develop the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to be postsecondar and workforce ready.
- TREP provides a tuition-free college education for students who qualify for their first and second years while they attend a participating Colorado college.
- Students take college-level courses while still in high school, helping them transition into postsecondary schools much better.
