River Parishes Community College (RPCC) is set to expand its process technology program, offering evening classes at Donaldsonville High School starting in fall 2026. This initiative aims to provide accessible training in a high-demand field for residents of the Donaldsonville area and surrounding communities.

The process technology program equips students with the skills and knowledge necessary for careers in industries such as petrochemicals, refining, and manufacturing. These roles are vital to Louisiana’s economy, particularly in the River Parishes region, which boasts a significant concentration of industrial facilities. The expansion to Donaldsonville addresses a growing need for skilled workers in these sectors.

RPCC’s decision to hold classes at Donaldsonville High School reflects a commitment to community outreach and removing barriers to education. By offering evening classes, the program accommodates individuals who may work during the day, making it easier for them to pursue career advancement opportunities. The high school provides a suitable learning environment and convenient location for students.

Details regarding course schedules, registration procedures, and program requirements will be released closer to the fall 2026 start date. RPCC encourages prospective students and employers interested in partnering with the program to visit the college’s website or contact the process technology department for more information. This expansion underscores RPCC’s dedication to workforce development and supporting the economic vitality of the River Parishes region.
