Louisiana is investing hundreds of millions of dollars into its community and technical colleges, including CLTCC, to align facilities with training needs and expand capacity.

These new state-of-the-art, high-tech, multi-use facilities will be used to educate and train over 220,000 Louisiana citizens for good-paying jobs in the 21st century workforce.

On average, for each bachelor’s or professional degree, most states need three to four people earning technical certificates, technical diplomas and associate degrees in health care, manufacturing and processing, engineering, specialized construction and other fields.

If you still think of a community or technical college as a Plan B for higher education, think again! CLTCC is now a two-year technical and community college offering certificates, technical diplomas and associate degrees in more than 20 programs to support local workforce development, prepare students for good-paying jobs and help students transition into four-year schools.
