MidlandsLIFE
In 2025, Midlands Tech became the first technical college in the state to launch a program for students with intellectual disabilities. It is called MidlandsLIFE (Learning Is For Everyone). MidlandsLIFE is a two-year program designed to provide inclusive educational opportunities and workforce preparation to students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The goal is to support students as they pursue certificates and industry recognized credentials that align with their career goals and equip them with the skills needed for success in the workplace.
MidlandsLIFE is guided by the principle that Every Maverick Matters.
The Vision Create an accessible, affordable, and individualized learning environment that prepares students for workforce readiness by
equipping them with the skills, experiences, and support needed to achieve meaningful employment and full participation in society.
The Mission Empower youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities to lead their educational journeys and support them in their pursuit of industry-recognized credentials/certificates in fields of study that align with their preferences, interests, and strengths. Primary focus areas include academics, employment, social and community engagement, and personal development.
MidlandsLIFE students are a part of the Maverick family and welcome to join college organizations and participate in college- wide events. Because Midlands Tech is a non-residential institution, students will come to campus for classes and activities, then return home when their day is done.
Recruiting for the program will begin this spring, with a bridge program in the summer, and an official launch in Fall 2026.
Maverick Market
This fall, we opened Maverick Market, a free on-campus resource that provides snacks and essentials to support student well-being and academic success. The market relies on generous donations that help students stay prepared and fully engaged in their studies.
