Minnesota State College – Southeast Technical in Winona, Minnesota; John Wood Community College in Quincy, Illinois; Lewis and Clark Community College in Godfrey, Illinois; St. Louis Community College in Bridgeton, Missouri; West Kentucky Community and Technical College in Paducah, Kentucky; Mid-South Community College in West Memphis, Arkansas; Southwest Tennessee Community College in Memphis, Tennessee; Hinds Community College in Raymond, Mississippi; and Delgado Community College in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The purpose of MRTDL is a collective effort tasked to bring together the expertise and resources of industry, education, government, and local communities to close the gap between business’ need for highly skilled workers and workers’ need for high wage, high skilled and sustainable jobs. The vision of MRTDL is to fundamentally transform TDL education within the consortium in order to better meet the needs of employers and TAA-eligible workers, and in the process to develop a replicable model for consortium-based initiatives to address those needs. And ultimately, to drive the economic advancement of the Mississippi region and the nation as a whole.
