💚 Now THAT'S being on the same wavelength!

A CTC staff member and student showed up to class today wearing thesame CTC green T-shirt—and they didn't even plan it!

No coordination. No group chat. Just pure CTC pride. 💚

We love seeing our students and staff showing their Eagle spirit and proving that sometimes, great minds really do think alike!

Seeing red? So are we!

Central Texas College's new professional truck driving program is hitting the road, and our newly wrapped red semi tractor-trailer is impossible to miss! Our first CDL class is already full, and next week, students will transition from the classroom to the driver's seat for hands-on, behind-the-wheel training.

Keep an eye out for our red rig and a second blue rig rolling through the CTC campus as our students prepare for careers in an essential industry.

We're excited to help students discover a career they're passionate about, gain the skills employers need, and pursue rewarding opportunities while helping meet the growing demand for professional drivers across Central Texas.

Your next career could be in the driver's seat.
