Training and Programs
College employees regularly participate in Title IX training as a part of a larger effort of the South Carolina Technical College System to further educate college faculty and staff of their obligations to report allegations of inappropriate or threatening conduct. This information is shared with faculty and staff throughout the school year, including through Pericipio located in PTC Pathway.
To ensure compliance with Section 304 of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), which amends the Clery Act, Piedmont Technical College provides required training to all enrolled students to further educate themselves regarding the definitions of consent, dating violence, domestic violence, sexual harassment, sexual assault, and stalking.

Student Training
Information about Title IX and Bystander Intervention will be shared with students through online training in D2L.
In addition, primary prevention and awareness sessions are conducted throughout the school year to inform students of relevant definitions, deliberate programming, strategies and initiatives intended to end dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking.
All Title XI questions related to required training for students, faculty, and staff should be addressed to the Dean of Students at [email protected] or 864-941-8364.
