KCTCS is constantly keeping an eye on the future. The economic landscape for business and industry is changing rapidly, and new avenues of prosperity are opening every day. To stay ahead of the curve, we are constantly forecasting the needs of students, communities, and business and industries to make sure we are ready with the programs and services they will need to succeed.


Our traditional sources of public funding cannot keep pace with the demands of those we serve or our vision of being the best community and technical college system in the nation. While state funding to KCTCS has been reduced in recent years, the demand for our programs and services has never been greater. Private support provides the critical margin of difference that keeps us flexible and responsive and that assures excellence.
