ICT History

For over 40 years, we’ve been helping students at 7 different campus locations across 3 states (Georgia, Texas and Kentucky) get the skills they need to launch successful careers in:

  • Business
  • Technology
  • Commercial Refrigeration & HVAC
  • Medical

But that’s not all.

We also offer one of the most comprehensive Vocational English as a Second Language (VESL) programs in the nation, helping students from more than 120 different countries create their own success story.
