RICHMOND TECHNICAL CENTER

Richmond Technical Center (RTC) is a specialized career and technical education (CTE) facility serving the Richmond Public Schools district. Designed to prepare students for the modern workforce and post-secondary education, the center offers a diverse array of hands-on programs ranging from skilled trades and construction to health sciences, culinary arts, and information technology. By integrating rigorous academic curriculum with industry-standard training, RTC allows students to earn professional certifications and college credits while still in high school, effectively bridging the gap between classroom learning and real-world career application.

Located in the Westwood area of Richmond, the center serves as a collaborative hub that emphasizes employability skills, leadership, and technical proficiency. It caters to students who are looking to pursue specific career pathways immediately upon graduation or those who wish to gain a competitive edge before entering college. With its focus on experiential learning, Richmond Technical Center plays a vital role in the district’s mission to ensure that every student is prepared for both economic independence and professional success in an increasingly competitive global economy.
