Technical education encompasses a tremendous variety of programs designed to equip students with career and life skills. At the national level, applied technology education programs are offered by some 26,000 high schools, community colleges, and technical institutions. Each year, millions of adults enroll in technical programs to acquire basic work skills, retrain for new jobs, and keep up with changing technological requirements of the workplace.

The mission of the Bridgerland Applied Technology College is to deliver competency-based, employer-guided career and technical education to both secondary and post-secondary students through traditional and technology-enhanced methodologies. This hands-on technical education provides occupational education, skills training, and workforce development to support the educational and economic development of the Bear River Region.
