Workforce Recruitment Program (WRP)
Mitchell Technical College works with all kinds of industries to help students access the best possible job opportunities.
With Mitchell Tech’s Workforce Recruitment Program, students apply for a “partnership” with a sponsoring company. If you, as a partner company approve, your company will pay all or part of the student’s tuition and fees (to be determined in advance) for semesters 2, 3, and 4 of a two-year program. The student agrees to work for you after graduation in a relevant job at a competitive wage.
