IMPACT
The IMPACT System handles all financial information for Tech Prep consortia. Usernames and passwords are generated from the State Department of CareerTech.
Tech Prep Accountability System
Completion of programmatic data inside the Tech Prep Accountability System, or TPAS, is required by each Tech Prep consortia. The collection of timely, accurate, and comparable data is of growing importance with the Tech Prep initiative and related state and local initiatives that link continued funding to demonstrated benefits and outcomes. TPAS will ensure that performance plans are in place and set specific, measurable outcomes for Tech Prep programs to achieve. Through annual performance reports, program review visits and ongoing technical assistance, ODCTE and local consortia coordinators will collectively provide detailed program and student outcomes information on consortia progress in meeting Tech Prep objectives. Information will be used to support ODCTE decisions on appropriation levels and reauthorization of programs. TPAS will document results and justify funding.
No individual student records should be entered into TPAS.

Tech Prep Student Data
A Tech Prep Student Is..
- Secondary Tech Prep Student – a student who has enrolled in two courses in the secondary education component (designated and approved career major) of a tech prep program.
- Postsecondary Tech Prep Student – a student who has completed a secondary education component (designated and approved career major) of a tech prep program and has enrolled in the postsecondary education component of a tech prep program at an institution of higher education
The Tech Prep coordinator shall contact the data contact at the technology center. The coordinator will have a list of Tech Prep students for the consortia. As Tech Prep coordinators are not allowed to view all student information for privacy reasons, we are asking that the data contact update the enrollment system based on the information they provide to you. This is a very simple process and should not take much of your time once the list is provided to you.

An alphabetical list will now be on your screen based on the enrollment you have submitted to us. Click in the box beside the name that matches the Tech Prep coordinator’s list. After all students have been identified, click the “Update” button at the bottom of the screen to save the information.
You can now select Print List of Tech Prep Students to verify your selections.

Each Tech Prep coordinator is responsible to give the data contact this information to start the process.

This is for Tech Center Students only. You must work with your registrar to identify students through this system. No individual student records should be entered into TPAS.
