Midlands Technical College Puts $60,000 to Work Helping Students
Pursue Manufacturing Jobs Fall 2018
MTC is using $60,000 received from the Gene Haas Foundation to provide tuition assistance for students who wish to enroll in MTC Advanced Manufacturing programs. Haas presented two $30,000 checks to support both MTC’s Academic and Corporate and Continuing Education (CCE) programs.
The Gene Haas Foundation annually provides more than $8 million in scholarship grants to more than 2,000 schools and colleges nationwide to address the growing advanced manufacturing skills gap.
“The need for students with skills in machining and manufacturing is perhaps greater than it has ever been,” said MTC President Rhames. “This is an expanding industry in need of skilled
employees, and MTC is delivering. With the generosity of the Gene Haas Foundation, we can deliver even more.”
The needs of the manufacturing industry in the Midlands and the state are growing. In order to educate the future workforce of the expanding industry, MTC relies on private support from companies like Haas to fund equipment and provide scholarships for students seeking to enter the manufacturing sector.
“Midlands Technical College is truly committed to preparing job-ready employees and supporting this growing trade,” said MTC Foundation CEO Nancy McKinney. “We are pleased that a leading industry partner has given this program such recognition, and we are grateful for the support.”
