About the Hiram G. Andrews Center (HGAC)

The mission of the Hiram G. Andrews Center is to offer quality individualized post-secondary education, which provides career opportunities and independent life skills.

 

The Hiram G. Andrews Center provides a comprehensive program of services featuring the integration of education on campus at the Commonwealth Technical Institute (CTI), counseling, evaluation, and physical restoration in a barrier-free environment.

 

At the Hiram G. Andrews Center, education is not confined to the CTI classroom. While the majority of a student's time and attention is focused on education and training, job skills is only part of the learning experience. A continuum of support services ranging from vocational evaluation and career exploration to independent living skills combines to offer our students the skills they will need to live, work and contribute in the community. This variety of services also enables the individual to examine personal behavior and make positive changes in preparing for entry-level employment.

 

The CTI@HGAC campus, which is completely barrier-free, covers 12 acres or 522,370 square feet under one roof. Each student is provided with an individual workstation and specialized adaptive tools and equipment as needed.

 

Interested applicants are urged to visit HGAC and explore its opportunities. Tours for individuals and groups can be arranged by appointment. Call 814-254-0646 or use our toll-free number, 800-762-4211, extension 0646, to arrange a tour of the HGAC and to see the career opportunities provided through an education at the Commonwealth Technical Institute.
