The Board’s June 23, 2026 workshop included tentative approval of the 2026–2027 Wilton Simpson Technical College (WSTC) Handbook and Program Catalog, which govern adult education and career/technical offerings for the coming year. The summary of changes highlights the addition of an Integrated Education and Training (IET) program, consolidation of technical program appendices, and an updated director’s letter, signaling programmatic growth and restructuring rather than a static renewal. As a Council on Occupational Education–accredited institution serving adult learners in multiple technical fields, WSTC will need curriculum resources, instructional materials, industry certification prep, employer partnerships, and potentially scheduling and student management tools tailored to the new IET model and expanded program mix., healthcare, IT, trades), employer-aligned work-based learning, and student success platforms can position offerings that help the Director of Adult & Technical Programs implement and scale these new paths, align with workforce and accreditation requirements, and support placements for the 2026–2027 and subsequent years. Given the handbook’s role in codifying programs and the explicit mention that Board approval can act as a budget amendment, there is room for funded initiatives tied to these program changes.

WSTC operates multiple programs from its main and extension campuses, is COE-accredited, and aligns to workforce needs; the new IET program suggests braided funding with adult education and CTE sources.
