“As a college with a workforce development focus, we succeed in delivering a wide variety of high-quality educational programs to our students with the support of our community,” said CTC Dean Michele Stalder. “The support CTC receives from the community and local industries makes a profound impact. We would like to recognize these supporters as valuable partners and thank them for their efforts and contributions.”
CTC partners provide support in many different forms. Examples of this support include the donation of emergency vehicles for training first responders, the use of professional facilities for health students to complete their clinical experience, the donation of industry-standard uniforms for automotive students, and service on advisory boards to ensure the curriculum meets the needs of employers and students.
