Piedmont Technical College is a public higher education institution based in Greenwood, South Carolina, offering career-focused programs that can be completed in two years or less and that provide pathways to four-year colleges. Founded in 1966 and accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, the college serves a diverse student population including recent high school graduates, returning students, and others seeking practical education for entry into the workforce. The college operates across seven counties—Abbeville, Edgefield, Greenwood, Laurens, McCormick, Newberry, and Saluda—and maintains an online campus to extend access beyond traditional campuses. In the broader higher education landscape, Piedmont Tech functions as a multi-campus institution that combines on-site programs with online offerings to serve a regional population. Recent developments include the introduction of an auto maintenance course in Edgefield County designed to prepare students for certification through the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence. In late 2025, the college began construction of a health sciences building at its Lex Walters Campus in Greenwood, signaling ongoing expansion of facilities to support health-related programs.
