With goals focusing on becoming a college of first choice for graduating high school seniors, all programs and credentials adding value to students and employers, and empowering our entire team to be dealers in hope, we’re excited about the path we’re taking to accomplish our goals. As dealers in hope, we believe in putting our learners’ needs at the forefront of everything we do. That drives us to continuously identify areas of opportunity to improve value for all our stakeholders, and keep our learners ahead of the curve. By partnering with local business leaders, we fine-tune our curriculum to make sure LTC graduates enter the workforce ready to do their jobs. We bring in industry experts to help build our programs, and experienced professionals to teach in our state-of-the-art classrooms and labs.
Each year more than 10,000 people enroll in courses at LTC. They rely on LTC for job preparation, to earn a degree, change careers, learn as an apprentice, and to build on existing skills. They enroll because they know that LTC students find employment or career advancement when they graduate.
