The LTC provides individuals with quality and relevant learning opportunities consistent with identified student, business and industry needs within a life-long learning environment.
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.
