Building HIRE Education

We would appreciate your consideration of donating to the Manhattan Area Technical Foundation this year as we work on expanding capacity of the College through our Building HIRE Education project. This project will drive attracting resources so we can expand facilities, programs, and more to help drive regional economic development.

Mission

The Manhattan Area Technical College Foundation supports the institutional goal of providing adequate resources to accomplish the role, scope, and mission of the institution.

The Foundation provides leadership to initiatives that support the college in meeting the needs of its service area, expands awareness of the college, and secures external funding from the private and public sector to enhance program development, increase student opportunities, and advance the mission, vision, and purposes of MATC.

Profile

According to data from the Kansas Board of Regents, over 75% of MATC graduates remain in this area for at least two years, and over 60% for at least five years! These graduates become employees in the region as well as community residents, taxpayers, and consumers. They also help keep our part of the world working as they are nurses, automotive mechanics, welders, construction workers, information networking technicians, electric power linemen, and more! Your support is critical to our continued success.

In the past year MATC has been recognized for having the #1 RN nursing program in the state, #1 in construction trades, #1 for overall value and job placement success (3^rd year in a row among two-year colleges in the state), and #3 in our LPN nursing program. Our enrollment has averaged almost 7% growth per year for the past four years!

Thank you for considering our request for support. MATC works for you!
