What Miami Valley Career Technology Center does

Miami Valley Career Technology Center (MVCTC) is a public career-technical education institution organized as an Ohio school district entity, founded in 1971 and headquartered at 6801 Hoke Road, Clayton/Englewood, Ohio, with a workforce of 251-500. It operates a High School division, an Adult Education division (the primary subject of available source data), and a Satellite division under the unified MVCTC umbrella, governed by an elected Board of Education with no private equity, venture, or external corporate ownership.

The Adult Education division delivers short-term certification programs in healthcare (Phlebotomy, Dental Assisting) and skilled trades (NCCER Electrical Levels 1-4, HVAC-R Levels 1-3, Machine Shop, Basic and Advanced Welding), free community ESOL and GED preparation through the Ohio Aspire/ODHE network, customized on-site training for Ohio employers, and an on-campus Pearson-VUE Assessment Center for FAA, AWS, and other certifications. Instructional content is anchored on industry-recognized credentials from NCCER, NHA, AWS, and NIMS, and the institution maintains Cognia accreditation and BBB Accredited Business status.

Revenue is generated through three streams: tuition and class fees from adult learners (with books and supplies included), state funding and grants administered through Ohio Work Ready Grant, TechCred (up to $2,000 per employee completion), and ODHE/Aspire appropriations, and fee-for-service customized corporate training delivered at employer facilities. Pricing is program-dependent with a 25% non-refundable deposit for grant recipients and payment plans available. Go-to-market is hybrid: community-led intake for adult learners across Montgomery, Greene, and Preble counties (in-person registration, website, phone, mobile apps, social media) and direct B2B sales to regional employers through a dedicated Director of Instruction (Eric Dolan), supported by an Assessment Center that doubles as a credentialing hub.
