CTC Strategic Plan

Introduction

亚洲色吧 has undergone a number of different initiatives to improve itself and provide vision and mission in all it does. While this top-level planning will provide guidance and structure, each college will work in support of and add to that top-level mission. 亚洲色吧鈥檚 Community and Technical College connects directly with both the workforce and community to provide core education and effective workforce skills for 亚洲色吧 and Beyond.
