Alabama’s CTE investment totals. The Troy expansion represents the Wiregrass component of that broader state effort.

The celebration included Ledbetter and other state leaders, who highlighted the expansion as an investment in career-focused education in the region.

What the expansion means

Career and technical education gives students a path to job-related training alongside their broader education. Troy’s expansion places the university within Alabama’s larger effort to increase that training across the state.
