Real Advice: Advisory Committees Keep MTC in Step with
Industry Needs Fall 2018
MTC has more than 100 academic, career, transfer, and training programs that rely on advisory committees to help them keep up with current workforce trends. Advisory committee members are experts in their fields who provide recommendations on keeping MTC’s programs, equipment, and curriculum relevant.
“At the heart of our career-oriented programs are our local business and industry partners,” said MTC Associate Vice Provost for Career Programs Sandra Hackley. “Not only do our advisory committee members help us keep pace with current workforce needs, they provide internship and employment opportunities for students, and they help us recruit new faculty. Our programs are connected with local industry at multiple levels.”
There are more than 35 advisory committees at MTC, with more than 450 total members who regularly meet with MTC program administrators and faculty. The advisory committees support more than 100 programs at MTC. Members’ areas of expertise include baccalaureate transfer, business, public service, engineering, nursing, health sciences, industrial trades, and information technology.
MTC Hosts “Tour de Tech” for S.C. Technical
College System Fall 2018
Combining his passion for cycling, love of South Carolina, and commitment to education, South Carolina Technical College System President Dr. Tim Hardee launched Tour de Tech and cycled the Palmetto State in Fall 2018 visiting each of the 16 technical colleges from the Upstate, to the Midlands, and the Lowcountry.
“While the South Carolina Technical College System’s colleges across the state strive to remain affordable and accessible for all South Carolinians with low tuition and numerous financial assistance programs, our students at times must make the difficult decision to take a class or pay a bill,” said Hardee. “The S.C. Technical College System Foundation is working to assist in bridging this funding gap through an innovative scholarship fundraising initiative called Tour de Tech South Carolina.”
Covering 800 miles over a 12-day trek, Tour de Tech was designed to raise money for much-needed scholarship funds for technical college students, while shining a well-deserved light on the exceptional programs the System’s colleges have to offer in South Carolina.
