Our History
The Downriver Career Technical Consortium (DCTC) was founded in 1965 as a way for three local school districts to share vocational education programs.
Today, DCTC is recognized as largest CTE consortium in the State of Michigan consisting of nine local school districts and partnerships with four colleges that collectively share over 50 CTE instructors who offer unique CTE programs.
DCTC has expanded our role in the schools to include the following opportunities:
- An academic consortium that shares high level and unique classes
- Articulated college credit for most programs; direct college credit for some programs
- Professional development for teachers
No two students have exactly the same skills or learning style. Your student’s learning plan will combine direct instruction, small-group work, and one-on-one tutoring in a way that works for your student.
