Midlands Technical College Receives Inaugural Grant from BAE Systems
The Midlands Technical College Foundation received a $3,500 grant from BAE Systems to support the college’s Machine Tool Technology program. BAE Systems said it plans to continue its financial support to MTC annually.
“Highly skilled employees are a critical part of our future, and we are proud to support MTC in the work they are doing locally to educate and train the future manufacturing workforce,” said Dave Isherwood, manager of BAE Systems’ facility. “We have worked with MTC on placing graduates for years, and we are excited to begin financial support of their technology-focused machine tool training."
BAE Systems’ facility, which is expanding its operations and workforce, currently employs about 100 employees who support the manufacture of component assemblies for a variety of combat vehicle platforms.
“With private support from BAE Systems and other businesses, Midlands Technical College is better able to provide job-ready employees to area manufacturers,” said MTC President Rhames.
The grant provides funds for MTC machine tool instructors to teach students the latest in 3D modeling and computer numeric controller systems. Funding this project ensures MTC machine tool students will continue to receive training in the latest, most advanced technologies in their field.
“The college is very grateful to BAE Systems for their generosity and support of our machine tool program,” said Nancy McKinney, CEO of the MTC Foundation. “Providing skilled employees for the manufacturing sector has become a hallmark of MTC. The expanding manufacturing industry in South Carolina is a vital component of our economy. BAE Systems’ current and future support of MTC promises to bring the latest technology to students who need these important skills.”
