Fall 2024: MATC Transformations Magazine
"In my first month serving Milwaukee Area Technical College, I was fortunate to be able to welcome presidential advisor John Podesta, U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers and other partners for major announcements connected to the region's economy and workforce. I also had the opportunity to meet with leaders of local business and civic groups including the Greater Milwaukee Committee and Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce.
In this edition of Transformations, you will read a few of the reasons why. The MATC alumni we are celebrating include a graduate who is quite literally building the future of the city, women who continue to break into historically male-dominated trades, and a local credit union CEO who credits this college with giving him his start. Our successful grads continue to reflect the breadth and depth of the programs we offer, from Culinary Arts to Emergency Medical Technician and the state's only Adult High School."

Spring 2024: MATC Annual Report
"In this issue of Transformations magazine, you can read about the success of our transfer students. You can also read about how public-private partnerships, including our Uniquely Abled Academy and a partnership with the rock band Metallica, are giving students the support they need to succeed.
The result of all these efforts is that MATC is transforming student lives and providing our community and employers with skilled workers needed for economic growth. By graduating and transferring more students, we are achieving the strategic and mission-critical outcomes needed for student social mobility and the community's economic development.
We hope these successes - and everything you read about in this issue - reinforce the positive impact the college generates as we build a diverse, talented workforce for the region. Thank you for your continued partnership."

Transformations: Annual Report 2023
Tranformations Magazine: Fall 2023
"After just one year, the Milwaukee Area Technical College's first-ever full-ride scholarship, the Ellen and Joe Checota MATC Scholarship Program, continues to deliver impressive results. Between Fall 2022 and Spring 2023, nearly 400 students earned the scholarship and more than 150 already graduated. Those graduates include Samantha Albert and Nathan Berrios, whose inspiring stories you'll find on page 10. Still more Checota students are set to graduate in December.
As we celebrate the success of Samantha, Nathan and so many other alumni in this edition of Transformations, I encourage you to explore the breadth and depth of the college's offerings to prepare students and the region for success. We are growing the diverse talent pipeline by expanding our electrical power distribution program from the Mequon Campus to a second location in the heart of Milwaukee.
We build the diverse, skilled workforce our region needs to grow and be competitive. We do this all thanks in part to your ongoing partnership and support. For that, I continue to be grateful."

Spring 2023: MATC Annual Report
"When it comes to transforming the lives of the students we serve and building the region's diverse talent pipeline, Milwaukee Area Technical College has and will continue to deliver on our mission for the past 110 years for our community.
In August 2022, we launched the most comprehensive and largest scholarship fund in MATC history. In just a few short months, the generous founding gifts that created the Ellen and Joe Checota MATC Scholarship Program began paying dividends for our students and employers.
It is our pleasure to share with you these and many other stories that demonstrate our value to the students, employers and all residents of our region. I hope you see the opportunity and potential for partnering with us to meet your needs."
