The community and technical college system consists of 29 community colleges and 5 technical colleges. The colleges are aggregated into 30 districts. Each district has a local governing board of five trustees. The system provides postsecondary education services in three broad categories: academic transfer, workforce training, and basic skills for adults. These services are provided at hundreds of locations throughout the state. The system is governed by the nine member State Board for Community and Technical Colleges.
