History
CTI first got its start in 1949 when it was created by an employment agency in New York City to provide permanent, full-time job placement services. By 1980, computer technology was rapidly automating offices all over the country and a demand developed for quality training programs to produce a technically skilled workforce. To meet the needs of the business community, CTI’s parent company established its first Learning Center in New York in 1980 and its next learning center in Washington, D.C. in 1992. In May 2003, the D.C. Learning Center was privately acquired with the goal of providing relevant vocational training to the residents in the metropolitan Washington, DC area. On March 19, 2007, the institution formally changed its name to Career Technical Institute, Inc.
