FORT ATKINSON
TEACHERS EXPLORE MATC FACILITIES, OFFERINGS
Twelve Fort Atkinson teachers
recently toured the Madison Area Technical College (MATC) Truax Campus
to learn more about the college's facilities and program offerings. Teachers
toured the campus, meeting instructors in a variety of programs including
machine tooling, motorcycle/marine/small engine, printing, veterinary
technician, court reporting and photography. They also visited the college's
onsite, student-run bakery and retail shop, Olivia's Gifts.
The event, sponsored by the MATC School to Career Office, was part of
a new initiative to partner with area K-12 districts and bring area teachers
to the campus to learn more about the college.
