History:
VTC Enterprises was started in 1961 by a small, forward thinking group of parents. In 1970, the Association purchased five acres at 2445 A Street in Santa Maria and developed our organization previously called Vocational Training Center, a day training program for adults with developmental disabilities. Services continually developed and improved over the years.

On July 1, 2002, the name changed to VTC Enterprises. The change came because VTC's services are diverse and are offered primarily through out the community and as well as on site. We serve people with a variety of needs.
