GOAL 1

DOUBLE NUMBER OF GRADUATES TO 40,000 ANNUALLY

At the beginning of the plan, LCTCS graduated 19,810 individuals in academic and workforce programs. The system experienced an all-time high in 2016 with over 28,853 graduates and in 2019 this record was exceeded with 33,058 graduates followed by 33,248 graduates in 2020 despite COVID-19 impacting workforce training towards industry-based certification. This is graduate production unlike any other system in the country and it speaks to the close relationship our colleges have with industry partners.
