The mission of CCCTC is to provide quality career-technical education programs and services that prepare youth and adults for success in the workplace, postsecondary, and community, now and in the future. Approximately 400 secondary students are served annually in fifteen various technology programs; and over 100 adults enroll annually in over 20 daytime and evening adult courses and programs. The Joint Operating Committee, consisting of one member from each of the five sending schools, is the governing body of the Center.
