RPCC Brings Process Tech Classes to Donaldsonville in 2026
River Parishes Community College (RPCC) is set to expand its process technology program with new evening classes at Donaldsonville High School, starting in fall 2026. This initiative aims to provide accessible training opportunities for individuals seeking careers in the process technology field, a sector vital to the region’s industrial base.
The decision to offer classes at Donaldsonville High School reflects RPCC's commitment to meeting the workforce needs of the River Parishes area. Process technology encompasses a wide range of skills related to operating and maintaining complex industrial processes, particularly within chemical plants, refineries, and other manufacturing facilities. These roles are in high demand, offering stable employment and competitive salaries.
RPCC’s process technology program is designed to equip students with the technical knowledge and practical skills required to succeed in these roles. The curriculum typically includes coursework in subjects such as chemistry, mathematics, instrumentation, and process control. Evening classes offer a flexible learning option for working adults and those with other commitments.
The expansion to Donaldsonville High School will increase access to RPCC’s process technology training, potentially benefiting residents of Donaldsonville and surrounding communities. Details regarding registration, course schedules, and specific program requirements will be released closer to the fall 2026 start date. Interested individuals are encouraged to visit the RPCC website or contact the college directly for further information.
