Louisiana Technical College, Westside Campus

To increase workforce skills and the competitiveness of Louisiana's businesses by developing and delivering, within the framework of the Louisiana Community & Technical College System (LCTCS) and through a collaborative relationship with business and industry, state-of-the-art instructional programs that provide an improved quality of life, critical thinking abililites, and lifelong learning skills to the residents of our service area.

Our technical college campuses offer a vast number of classes and programs that teach high demand skills needed to get a job, to cross-train for different positions, or retrain for a new career.

Often times, technical college students participate in real workplace situations, giving them real life experiences. For instance, if a student is interested in becoming an auto mechanic, they will work on engines and auto bodies under the direction of a certified instructor. Or, if they are in a dental or nursing program, part of the instruction will be spent in a clinic.

Through technical education, students are prepared for more than a good paying job. Technical colleges are the beginning of a career pathway for students. Currently, technical college campuses provide workforce training for the State of Louisiana, and have always been a place of access and opportunity for all Louisiana citizens. There are 40 campuses across the state, and their main focus is to provide skilled employees for business and industry that contributes to the overall economic development and workforce needs of the state.
