The school was founded as the Williamsport Technical Institute in 1941, though since 1914 the school had existed as an adult education and training facility. During World War II, the school operated 24 hours per day, providing war production training to help meet defense industry needs. Additionally, both during and after the war, the institute provided training and retraining for disabled veterans. In 1965, the Williamsport Area Community College was founded, superseding the former technical institute. It continued providing technical training for residents of northern Pennsylvania, but during the 1980s, the college began to face financial problems and lack of sponsorship. Finally, in 1989, the Pennsylvania State University named the school as an affiliate, which resulted in the name change to the current Pennsylvania College of Technology. 1941 was a common year starting on Wednesday (link will take you to calendar). ...
