Turtle Mountain Community College’s Career and Technical Education Department was established in 1976 as a culturally based local program to address the career training needs of the tribal membership. Turtle Mountain Community College’s Career and Technical Education program is fully accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and is certified by the North Dakota State Board for Career and Technical Education.

  • To enhance/expand skills to attain promotions;
  • To develop positive attitudes and practical applications in human relations as required in our socio-economic area; and
