Northwest Louisiana Technical Community College is a public institution of higher education that provides high-quality academic, workforce training, and transfer opportunities through the delivery of associate degrees, technical diplomas, and certificates that inspire students to enter today's competitive global workforce.
Louisiana's post-secondary technical education system is constitutionally governed by Louisiana Community and Technical College System (LCTCS). Since the 1930's, vocational education has been afforded to the citizens of Louisiana through a system of post-secondary technical education and provides technical training to high school students. Acts 208 and 209 of 1973 expanded the existing post-secondary technical education system from 33 to 53 technical institutes and provided for a coordinated and comprehensive statewide system of career education. The Louisiana vocational technical education system originally began as "trade schools" in the 1930's and evolved to vocational schools, vocational technical schools, vocational technical institutes, and at present, technical community colleges, as a result of a re-designed curriculum which blends technical education and applied academics, ultimately leading to a certificate, diploma, or associate degree. The Board of Supervisors of Community and Technical Colleges, created in 1999, serves as the management board for Louisiana's public 2-year institutions. The LCTCS is comprised of 12 colleges located throughout Louisiana.
The main campus of NLTCC is located at 9500 Industrial Dr. Minden, LA. This campus is located in Webster Parish and serves citizens of the surrounding northwest parishes.
