About ISTC
Annette Funderburk
President
Welcome!
Thank you for your interest in Ingram State Technical College, our students and our mission.
ISTC is part of the Alabama Community College System, fully accredited by the Council on Occupational Education for over 40 years. The College was established by the Alabama legislature in the mid-1960’s for the sole purpose of providing job training to incarcerated students.
For over 50 years, the faculty and staff have worked daily to meet that challenge, preparing students to make a successful return to family, community and the workplace.
Today ISTC is helping close the employment gap in Alabama by offering technical training in 17 career fields, adult education and GED preparation, and soft skills training essential for success in today’s workplace.
Our graduates are at work across the state, in businesses large and small, using skills they gained at ISTC. If you are interested in learning more about the College, if you would like information on hiring an ISTC graduate, or if you would like to join our foundation, we would be delighted to hear from you.
Our Mission
