East Baton Rouge Career and Technical Education Center Under Construction

  • 07/05/18

A new Career and Technical Education Center (CTEC) is under construction in East Baton Rouge Parish (EBR), La. The new facility will be a modern addition to the district in East Baton Rouge, and will be built to display an industrial look that mirrors some of the disciplines studied within. The design allows for future additions and changes as dictated by the changing labor market.
