Keystone Technical Institute has cultivated an environment designed to achieve the mission of providing students a practical hands-on experience, thus fostering a workplace atmosphere. Founded in October 1980, KTI received institutional accreditation by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools and the National Association of Trade and Technical Schools in 1983. The Accrediting Commission for Trade and Technical Schools of the Career College of Health Education Schools and Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology (which used to be called the Accrediting Commission for Trade and Technical Schools of the Career College Association) extended the school's accreditation into 2001.
Keystone Technical Institute aims to teach skills to those without them, refine the skills of the semi-skilled, and help graduates find work in the field in which they have studied.
Academic programs have been created to offer students marketable skills and knowledge that will help them to develop and fulfill their career potential down the road. The Career Placement Assistance service helps KTI as it fulfills its mission to offer a necessary and invaluable service to the business world, the community at large, the country, and above all, their student body.
