Reading Muhlenberg Career & Technology Center (RMCTC) provides outstanding career and technical education programming to secondary high school students living in the Muhlenberg and Reading school districts and adult students.
In 2006, RMCTC completed a $24 million-dollar renovation and expansion project, increasing the size of the building by 33 percent. In September 2023, RMCTC opened a new 8000 square foot Welding and Fabrication Building and upgrades to a refurbished Precision Machining facility. The facilities are modern, and the equipment is state of the art. With this expansion and a committed faculty and staff, students are now able to enroll in best-in-class technical education programs.
With the opportunity to learn industry expected technical skills that are in demand in business and industry, students may choose to attend one of 31 programs in a modern facility engaged in hands-on learning activities using industry standard tools and equipment. Students spend one half of their school day at RMCTC preparing for life after high school by learning the technical and academic skills that will lead to rewarding careers or entry into post-secondary education.
Our programs are designed for students to gain industry certifications and transition students into work-based learning opportunities to meet the ever-changing demands of business and industry. We continue to establish articulation and dual enrollment agreements with post-secondary schools that facilitate our students’ entry into post-secondary schools and provide students with the ability to earn college credits while still attending RMCTC..
RMCTC students are eligible to participate in the extra-curricular opportunities provided by their high school and are also encouraged to participate in Career & Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs). Our CTSOs provide experiences and opportunities for students to develop leadership skills and to meet and compete with career and technical students from across the country.
