River Parishes Community College (RPCC) is expanding 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, catering to working adults and residents of the Donaldsonville area.

The process technology program focuses on the skills and knowledge needed to operate and maintain complex industrial facilities, particularly those involved in chemical, petrochemical, and refining industries. These roles are crucial in the River Parishes region, which is a significant hub for industrial activity. The expansion to Donaldsonville reflects RPCC's commitment to addressing the workforce needs of local employers and providing opportunities for residents to advance their careers.

Evening classes will allow individuals who work during the day to pursue the process technology training without disrupting their employment. The classes will likely cover topics such as process operations, instrumentation, safety procedures, and quality control. Specific course details, including schedules and registration information, will be released closer to the fall 2026 start date. RPCC has a long history of providing vocational training and workforce development programs in the River Parishes, and this expansion is a continuation of that mission. The Donaldsonville High School location offers a convenient and familiar setting for students in the community.
