KCTCS is helping former students turn unfinished college credit into new opportunity.

Our new Comeback to Complete initiative is designed to help former KCTCS students return, build on the progress they’ve already made and complete a degree, diploma or certificate that supports their educational and career goals.

By reconnecting students with resources, recognizing prior coursework and experience, and helping address barriers to completion, Comeback to Complete offers a clear path back to college and toward graduation.

Kentucky innovation is making a national impact.

Three KCTCS initiatives have been featured in the national ATE (Advanced Technological Education) Impacts publication for their innovative approaches to preparing students for high-demand science and technology careers.

From advanced manufacturing and Industry 4.0 in Owensboro, to aviation career pathways in Maysville, to geospatial technology in Louisville, these programs are bringing educators, employers and communities together to build workforce solutions that start in Kentucky and reach far beyond the Commonwealth.

Through AMTEC Institute for Industry 4.0 Innovation, NSF ATE Start Smart and the GeoTech Center, KCTCS is helping prepare students—and the educators who teach them—for the technologies shaping the workforce of tomorrow.
