As a Community College and a Technical school, LATI rejects the tradtional standards of higher education. For Cartney and LATI graduatuion is not sufficient. They are one of the few Institutes of Higher Education or Technical School which takes responsibility for the placement of the students. They had an enviable track record at the time of this quotation. Founded in 1965 as the first technical school in South Dakota, LATI now has 29 programs (12 online E-Degrees), 2,000+ enrolled students, and a living record of success: 20,000+ graduates 98.56% of the graduates are employed or are continuing education 86% of their graduates have stayed to live and work in South Dakota The latter is most unusual for a Rural Area school.
