2019-2020 Conference

The theme of the 2019-2020 SCTEA conference is 20/20: A Perfect Vision. During the 2020 SCTEA conference, we will focus on the visions of the SC Technical College System as a whole, as well as our individual institutions.

The SC Technical College System was developed in 1961 with a vision. Boone Aiken’s philosophy for the original state board was “every South Carolinian shall have the right to seek his or her own natural destiny. There must be dignity in all honorable work.”

Since 1961, the SC Technical College System has grown to 16 Technical Colleges with nearly every South Carolinian within a 30-minute drive of one of our main campuses or 64 satellite campuses. Our colleges offer a variety programs in South Carolina’s high-demand, high-paying fields, including 77 degrees, 28 diplomas and nearly 1,100 certificate programs.
