LCTI offers more than 50 programs in a hands-on format, with a focus on national skill standards and rigorous academics. LCTI recently completed a modernization project that has increased lab sizes, updated equipment, and added an Academic Center.

Once there, most students will either be in a Lab, which is their chosen career specialty, or to the Academic Center, an all day option for students, which provides them with the typical state required education, and their specialty segment. Students have the option of attending in either the AM or PM session.
