Orion Technical College has been proud to provide the Quad City area quality technical training since 1969. From our humble beginning as the Academy of Radio and Television (ART) in Bettendorf, IA and then changing to becoming Hamilton Technical College and as of July of 2020 expects to be operating as Orion Technical College, continuing to evolve to meet the needs of the employment community as w

e continue to train students in technical and allied health fields. Our founder, Charles Hamilton, Jr., began the college by preparing students to take the Federal Communications Commission examination for broadcasting. While teaching students around his kitchen table he envisioned going beyond test preparation to training students to be broadcasters. Soon his vision expanded with the needs of the employers in the community and an Electronics program developed in 1978. In 1980, as the program grew, the name was changed to Hamilton Technical College. In the 1990’s Hamilton Technical College responded to a need in our medical community by creating a Medical Assisting Technology Program and in 2006 the Medical Billing and Coding program was started. In an effort to define our two distinct program areas, Hamilton Technical College created the School of Technology (including Electronics Engineering Technology AS and BS degree programs) and the School of Allied Health (including Medical Assisting Technology and Medical / Insurance Coding Specialist Programs).

Launch Your Healthcare Education Career

Are you a graduate with a BSN and an MA credential (CMA/RMA) looking to start your career in academic leadership? Orion Technical College, formerly Hamilton, is offering a unique opportunity to grow with us during a strategic period of expansion.

We are seeking a credentialed professional to assume the role of Program Lead for our Medical Assisting program, with the expectation of promotion to Program Director of Undergraduate Studies for Nursing & Allied Health in early 2026. This position will initially support instructional delivery for the Allied Health programs; as enrollment grows, the individual will transition into a leadership and oversight role for Allied Health adjunct faculty and begin supporting the expansion of the RN to BSN program through instructional delivery and program oversight.

This is your chance to gain hands-on leadership experience and make a lasting impact in healthcare education.

Qualified candidates may also be eligible to pursue one of our Master’s in Nursing programs tuition-free, providing a significant advantage for long-term career advancement in this high-demand, rewarding field. Alumni are encouraged to apply!
