Community Support

Community leaders actively support Jefferson and its critical mission to provide access to higher education and to support the region's economic development efforts.

The time is now for schools like Jefferson Community & Technical College. A high school degree is just not cutting it and people are turning to JCTC. That is why the attention and enthusiasm around JCTC is unparallel and well deserved.
