    HISTORY & LOCATION


    Caldwell Community College & Technical Institute introduced its first TRIO program in 1993, TRIO Student Support Services, followed by TRIO Educational Talent Search (TRIO/ETS) ten years later. TRIO/ETS serves 500 students annually in Caldwell County middle and high schools. Since its inception, TRIO/ETS has served thousands of students providing access to higher education to first generation, or underrepresented students.
