The Northwest Louisiana Technical College is the key provider of technical education in the 70-mile corridor between Shreveport and Ruston, an area that has seen significant recent economic growth.

​

The planned Workforce Development Center, funded publicly and privately through Act 360, will become the Minden campus’s third building. The Center will feature expanded curriculum programs in industrial construction, electricity, patient care technology, well control simulation and other areas, and it will host space for customized training programs for the region’s expanding business and industry. In an innovative public partnership, the Workforce Development Center will also house regional offices of the Louisiana Workforce Commission (LWC).
