About Us:

In 1963, Kansas legislation was passed, which provided vocational-technical education. Senate Bill 438, in conjunction with the National Education Act (SB 4955), approved the establishment of sixteen vocational-technical schools and nineteen community colleges in the state of Kansas.

Classes began in the fall of 1964 with five programs being offered. Six instructors and one placement officer/counselor made up the staff utilizing rented facilities in the community; North Central Kansas Area Vocational Technical School became a reality.

On July 1, 1996, North Central Kansas Area Vocational Technical School ceased to exist. In its place, North Central Kansas Technical College (NCKTC) was created. The same locations, the same quality education, but a new name with new directions was designed to enhance the educational opportunities for the region.
