Jason Ryan Dorsey, Bestselling Author, Acclaimed Speaker, Tech Prep Supporter!
 

Tech Prep conferences help Tech Prep stakeholders understand the importance of Tech Prep legislation and its intended outcomes. Tech Prep was designed to prepare today’s students for high-demand technical careers by offering a focused, sequenced program of secondary and postsecondary study. Tech Prep was reauthorized for funding through the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006.

Jason Dorsey has keynoted Tech Prep conferences and other events for Tech Prep consortia and state grant recipients since 1997. He even keynoted the National Tech Prep Conference in 1999! Jason Dorsey has seen firsthand how Tech Prep programs motivate students to higher educational attainment and maximum career readiness. When you bring Jason Dorsey to speak at your Tech Prep conference, Tech Prep college day, school-wide Career Day, job shadowing or mentor event, student assembly, educator in-service, or other consortia event, you are hiring an expert in Tech Prep.

Your keynote address set the tone for the daylong event and motivated the 1200 high school juniors and seniors in attendance to set higher goals and reach for bigger dreams. Everyone left empowered to stretch a little further and reach greater heights. Your presentation was the highlight of the event.

- Dr. Raymond Isenburg, VP Applied Science and Technology, Indian River Community College, Florda

- Wendy Grace, Tech Prep Coordinator, Holmes Community College, Mississippi


“A week ago you inspired our State Tech Prep Conference attendees- thank you! I would recommend you as a speaker who not only engages an audience, but also educates them. Your knowledge of student concerns and student connections from visiting schools, especially Tech Prep, is invaluable. You bring a message of encouragement and entrepreneurship that is important for professionals to hear as they help prepare our students for careers in the 21st Century.”

- Bernard H. McInerney, Statewide Tech Prep Coordinator, New York says:


“Mr. Dorsey spoke to 150 eleventh-grade students from five New York City public high schools and college students from the Fashion Institute of Technology. During Mr. Dorsey’s hour-long presentation he connected with the entire audience through his humor, honesty, charisma, and energy. After he was finished speaking, each student asked him to sign their copy of his book. Over the five years that Mr. Dorsey has participated in our Career Day, he has never failed to engage the students. It is truly wondrous to see.
