The 2014-15 grant will support the College’s participation with the Chester County Intermediate Unit (CCIU) at the Chester County Technical College High School Pennocks Bridge Campus.
Located in southern Chester County, the Pennocks Bridge Campus is a unique, state-of-the art, hybrid educational facility that provides career training and other educational services at both the secondary and post-secondary levels. Now entering its seventh year of operation, the school offers a wide range of quality programs and services that are affordable and accessible to southern Chester County and the surrounding area.

The Phoenixville Campus provides local residents with a close-to-home option for accessing an affordable, quality education and offers credit and non-credit courses. The campus gives students in northern Chester County access to the same level of educational opportunity that students in the southern part of the county have enjoyed for years.
