Transportation Technology Center Building Fund
Pulaski Technical College has at the heart of its mission a goal of providing affordable, accessible, high-quality education. Many of our students overcome obstacles of high gas, unreliable transportation and long rides on Central Arkansas Transit Authority busses to continue their education. Pulaski Tech purchased a 159,000 square foot building off of Interstate 30 near the Saline and Pulaski County lines to provide convenient high-quality education to serve residents of south Pulaski and Saline counties. It will reopen in August 2008 as the south Pulaski County site of Pulaski Technical College and house the Transportation Technology Center. Students will enroll in general education courses or in two-year and technical certificate programs in transportation-related fields. Pulaski Technical College will double current enrollment in automotive technical programs, a high-wage, high-growth career field. The Center’s services will include:
- General education freshman and sophomore college courses that are transferable to a four-year college or university
- Technical certificates and associate degrees in automotive technology, collision repair, diesel mechanics, small engine repair, and new programs in motorcycle/all-terrain vehicle mechanics, commercial driver training and transportation facility management training
- Tutoring center, library, food services and child-care facilities.
The Transportation Technology Center will open in August 2008. Up to 3,300 students will be able to achieve their higher education goals close to home, improve their earning potential, begin new careers and be an example to their children who will be more likely to attend college.
Adopt-A-Class
Individuals and corporations may choose to support a specific area of study or certificate program.
