Lincoln Trail College (LTC) has announced it will begin work later this year on a new Technology Center.
The new facility will house the Welding, Process Technology and Broadband Telecommunications Departments.
The project will be funded through a 75 / 25 split, with 75% of the money coming from the state of Illinois and 25% from the Illinois Eastern Community College District #529.
According to labor statistics, jobs in the fields of welding, process technology and telecommunications are expected to increase with the median annual wage above $48,000 with a demand for qualified, trained personnel. In addition to serving college students, LTC hopes to partner with area high schools to allow shared use of the new facility for vocational training.
A date for formal groundbreaking has not yet been set.
