About Salt Lake Technical

College:Salt Lake Technical College (SLTech) is one of three Technical Colleges within the State of Utah that falls under the auspices of a degree-granting institution. Many of the programs and credentials offered by SLTech are co-mingled with SLCC to allow for maximizing resources for robust offerings. Examples include offerings from the School of Professional & Technical Specialties, conferring Applied Associate of Science (AAS) degrees from pathways in SLTech, not-for-credit offerings, and “custom fit” programs that are employer-driven offerings. The Division of Health Care Technologies, which includes programs such as nursing assistant, medical assistant, and pharmacy technician, is housed within the School of Health Sciences at SLCC. SLTech presently serves more than 1,100 students a

nnually.
Unlike community colleges that offer a broader range of academic programs, SLTech specifically targets workforce development and technical skill-building, preparing students for careers in high-demand industries with a focus on providing practical, hands-on training and education in a variety of trades and technical fields. It is an excellent option for individuals looking to enter a specific trade or technical field quickly and affordably. Its focus on hands-on training, practical skills, and strong ties to local industries makes it a valuable resource for students aiming to enter the workforce with in-deman

d skills.
