Emily Griffith Technical College

The mission of Emily Griffith Technical College is to prepare students for today's workforce and tomorrow's opportunities. Each year, Emily Griffith serves approximately 8,000 students through 25 career training certification programs, 13 apprenticeships and a robust adult education and English language program. In 1916, Emily Griffith founded the Opportunity School which was later renamed Emily Griffith Opportunity School in her honor and, in 2011, renamed Emily Griffith Technical College to better represent the mission of the school. Emily Griffith was ahead of her time because she envisioned the school before technical colleges were even a concept. Over the past 100+ years, the college has educated nearly 2 million students who seek pathways toward long-term career advancement.
