We are thrilled to announce that CTEC has recently been honored with the prestigious Workforce Development Greater Baton Rouge Industry Alliance (GBRIA) Award of Excellence. This recognition is a testament to our commitment to fostering educational excellence, empowering our students, and driving workforce development in our community.

Our success is not just a reflection of our students' hard work and dedication but also the result of the strong partnerships we have forged with local industries and educational institutions. These partnerships have been instrumental in providing our students with real-world experiences, mentorship opportunities, and access to cutting-edge resources that prepare them for the demands of the modern workforce.

In addition to our recent award, we are excited to announce new strategic partnerships with the NeuroMedical Center Clinic. These collaborations will further enhance our programs, allowing us to expand our offerings and provide even more opportunities for our students to excel.

As we continue to grow and evolve, we remain committed to our mission of delivering top-tier education and workforce development. We are incredibly proud of our students, faculty, and partners who have made these achievements possible.
