Taskforce on Enrollment Management Formed

Recession, depression, and bad economic times.  They all mean one thing to the people in eastern Kentucky, hunger! Hunger for food for their children’s bellies, hunger for jobs to pay the rent and basic necessities of life, hunger for the privilege to live the life of a working man.  Big Sandy Community and Technical College (BSCTC) has always prided its self on being there to provide the necessary training to enable each generation since 1938 with the tools to reinvent themselves when life called upon them to do so and start a new career or fine tune an old one.
