Midlands Technical College Students Receive Full Scholarships,
Part-Time Jobs from Michelin Spring 2019
Students from area high schools in Lexington County donned Michelin ball caps and signed contracts to join MTC and Michelin and as Michelin Technical Scholars. A highly successful college-corporate partnership, the technical scholars program continues to fill the pipeline of talent Michelin will need to expand its operations.
“This occasion is one of my favorite opportunities to see talented students embark on a truly exceptional adventure,” said President Rhames. “By signing as Michelin Technical Scholars, these students will have the cost of their tuition, fees, and books covered by Michelin.”
The Technical Scholars are enrolled in either MTC’s Electronics Engineering Technology or General Technology (Mechatronics) programs. After earning their degrees from MTC, the scholars will be strong candidates for full-time positions at Michelin with competitive salaries and opportunities for career
growth. Mike Williams, facility personnel manager for the Lexington passenger tire manufacturing plant, said the education MTC students receive puts them in good positions to move up the Michelin employment ladder.
“Midlands Technical College allows students to go much further than they may realize,” Williams said. “Many of the students who have come through this program are now advancing through our organization. As managers, they are leading major projects for the organization. These scholars starting today are just at the beginning of an entire career.”
Just as athletics have “signing days” for new players, Williams said he likes to celebrate new Technical Scholars by giving them a “signing day” of their own.
“This is just as exciting as those athletes signing a contract for a million dollars,” said Williams. “It’s just as important that we celebrate young people who are earning an education and moving into the workforce.”
