About Jefferson Community and Technical College

Jefferson Community and Technical College is one of 16 colleges forming the Kentucky Community

and Technical College System. A public, comprehensive, postsecondary institution, Jefferson

enrolls about 12,000 students a semester in academic and technical programs.

Jefferson has six campuses: three in Jefferson County and one each in Bullitt, Carroll, and Shelby

counties. It also offers an extensive program of classes at high schools, UPS, state prisons, various

other locations, and online.

Students choose Jefferson to complete the first two years of a bachelor’s degree before

transferring or to complete programs leading to specific careers. Jefferson’s students benefit from

small classes, an extensive academic support system, and convenient locations.

The college also offers affordable tuition as well as comprehensive financial aid packages and

scholarships.

In addition to traditional college programs, Jefferson provides customized education and training

programs for business and industry through its Workforce Solutions division.

Mission

We open the door to quality education that promotes the economic and cultural vitality of our

community, encourages all to discover and achieve their potential, and provides opportunities to

turn dreams into realities.

Jefferson Community and Technical College fulfills its mission by promoting excellence in programs

and services in support of educational opportunity, lifelong learning, and student achievement as

expressed in the following goals:

2

Support the attainment of regional and statewide educational goals through data informed and

inquiry driven strategies to increase retention rates and completion of credentials (associate

degrees, diplomas and certificates).

Maximize student achievement through an institutional commitment to effective teaching and

support services.

Enhance workforce readiness and economic development of the community by providing seamless

educational opportunities through agreements with adult education, secondary school systems,

postsecondary institutions, community groups, and business and industry partners.

Provide an inclusive, accessible, and safe learning and working environment.

Exercise responsible stewardship of the college’s human, fiscal, and physical resources.

Introduction

In Fall 2015, the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) partnered with the

American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admission Officers to provide consultation and

support in the development of comprehensive enrollment management plans among the colleges

in the system. The plans are to assist the colleges in meeting enrollment goals over a five-year

period.

Jefferson Community and Technical College developed three teams to accomplish this work. A

Marketing and Recruitment Council and a Retention and Completion Council were established to

review data, set goals, and strategize tactical plans related to their respective areas. The Councils

were created with careful attention given to broad representation of faculty and staff across the

college. The President’s Staff serves as the guiding team who functions in an advisory and approval

role.

In addition, the retention plan includes strategies being undertaken as part of comprehensive

retention initiatives in which Jefferson is already engaged: as an Achieving the Dream leader

college and as the recipient of a Title III grant to enhance student success and completion through

the redesign of gateway courses and academic advising.

The plan has been finalized in July, 2016 with implementation beginning in Fall, 2016.

This is an iterative process which will include on-going evaluation and revision as the college

continues to pursue the established goals.
