SCL River Parishes Campus is one of several technical colleges created by Act 208 of the 1973 Louisiana Legislature.  This school serves citizens of St. Charles, St. John the Baptist, and St. James Parishes who are seeking the opportunity to participate in the "World of Work."  However, there is no mystery that without academic and vocational preparation and qualification, this participation will be limited.  The will to advance and the desire to achieve must be supported by the substance of sound basic Vocational-Technical Education.

Workforce training is changing rapidly, paced by technological changes.  The business community depends on technical colleges to provide human resources equipped with the skills and knowledge required by employees in the areas of communications, computer, and applied academic skills.
