Update on MTC's New Job-Training Hub

Of the more than 150 programs offered by MTC, almost a third are directly related to workforce development and job training in the areas of business and information technology. On the Beltline Campus, there is significant progress to report on what will become an economic driver for Fairfield, Lexington, and Richland counties.

In a few months, the new Center for Business and Information Technologies will open as the hub of programs in management, accounting, business administration, and information technologies. These are core functions our graduates fill for corporations, organizations, and state government agencies across borders.

The four-story, 58,245-square-foot facility is a $30 million investment in education that is vital to meeting emerging workforce needs.
