It is part of the Wisconsin Technical College System.

[1] In 1968, the Sheboygan School of Vocational and Adult Education was renamed to Lakeshore Technical Institute (LTI).

In 1974, LTI's main campus in Cleveland opened, constructed at a cost of $5 million.

In 1981, LTI's board of directors decided against being directly involved in student housing but in March 1990, the board endorsed a proposal to develop housing on a five-acre property just south of the campus along North Avenue.

[2] In 1988, LTI changed its name to Lakeshore Technical College to reflect a shift in course offerings.
