Do you know a recent high school graduate or college student that is interested in earning a degree while getting paid to go to school and obtain valuable hands on experience? If so, the Michigan Advanced Technician Training (MAT²) program could be a perfect fit!
The MAT² program is an educational model developed in conjunction with global technology leaders that combines theory, practice, and work to help train a globally competitive workforce in the cutting-edge fields of Mechatronics, Information Technology, and Technical Product Design.
MAT² will provide students with:
· A three-year training program with all tuition costs paid for by an employer
· On-the-job training with pay
· An associate degree in a high-tech, in-demand field
· A guaranteed job upon successful completion of the program
Students will earn while they learn, alternating between classroom training at a participating community college, and on-the-job training with an employer, acquiring marketable skills and valuable knowledge along the way.
