BVTi Opens its Doors After Hours to Empower Adult Learners

Superintendent-Director Anthony E. Steele II is pleased to announce the launch of a new initiative that supports the pursuit of lifelong learning through high-quality evening programs for adult learners. Blackstone Valley Regional Vocational Technical High School is proud to serve as the home of the newly established Blackstone Valley Technical Institute (BVTi). 

Whether you're a working professional seeking to advance your career through hands-on technical training or trying a new hobby for personal enrichment, BVTi’s course offerings are designed to meet a wide range of goals. Programs are engaging, practical, and, most importantly, accessible. If you're ready to Explore, Experience, Excel, let us help you take the next step in your professional or personal journey.

“As an educational leader passionate about vocational education, we’re excited to expand our school community by offering new learning opportunities through the Blackstone Valley Technical Institute,” said Dr. Matthew Connors, Assistant Superintendent/Curriculum Director. “Working collaboratively with our Director of Workforce & Economic Development, Mary May, we are focused on developing a strong catalog of adult education programs and course offerings.”

“We’re eager to expand access to career technical education, launching BVTi with credential-based programs in Advanced Manufacturing, Electrical, HVAC, Plumbing, and Welding,” added Mr. Steele. “This endeavor allows us to support adults interested in upskilling or retraining, provide skilled labor to the local workforce, and generate non-local taxpayer revenue to help fund the school. It is an honor to serve our employer partners, our students, and the broader school community."

BVTi is currently enrolling students and seeking qualified instructors. Grant funding is available for eligible students, along with flexible payment plans. To explore the full course list or to register, visit the BVTi webpage.
