The Office of Access and Workforce Opportunity at Southeast Technical College works to encourage a campus climate that values diversity and inclusion while providing access to career training, employment and personal and professional support to meet the needs of our regional workforce.
"We have a community that’s increasing in its diversity and that represents our workforce of the future. No matter what industry we’re in, we need to be preparing our workplace to reflect that."
Southeast Technical College is committed to student success and provides a variety of internal services, regardless of program or credit load. We also want to connect students to free community resources such as diaper giveaways, food pantries and even assistance with housing or bills, as well as organizations and resources to assist in our student's mental health and wellbeing.
The Southeast Technical College Office of Access and Workforce Opportunity is located in Room 108 of the Mickelson Center, 2320 North Career Avenue.
