Jefferson Community and Technical College (JCTC), created by the consolidation of Jefferson Community College (JCC) and Jefferson Technical College (JTC) on July 1, 2005, serves the Jefferson District of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) with campuses in Carroll, Jefferson, and Shelby counties in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Founded in 1968 in downtown Louisville as part of the University of Kentucky Community College System, Jefferson Community College later expanded to locations in southwest Jefferson County, Carroll County, and Shelby County; and in 1998, the College joined KCTCS. In 1953, the Jefferson County Board of Education chartered the Jefferson County State Vocational-Technical School to meet the postsecondary, technical education needs of Louisville and surrounding areas. In 1990, the school began operating as Kentucky TECH, Jefferson Campus. In 1998, the name changed to Jefferson Technical College to reflect its inclusion in KCTCS. In the fall of 2000, the Correctional Education Centers in Oldham and Shelby Counties were linked with Jefferson Technical College. The Marion County Adjustment Center was added in 2003.
