An ATE Industry Consortium provides a framework for colleges
and their business/industry partners to work together to ensure a highly
skilled technical workforce. Employers work with each other and the college
to share responsibility for recruiting, supporting, and coaching
tomorrow’s engineering technicians. The Florence-Darlington Technical
College ATE Industry Consortium has been successful since 1996. This
model may be duplicated in other locations to improve technician
education. E-mail SCATE@fdtc.edu
for more information or to request assistance using this model in your
location.
In the ATE Industry Consortia for Florence-Darlington
and Piedmont Technical Colleges, area industries, in cooperation with
the local Technical College, offer sponsorships for Advanced
Technological Education Scholars in the following areas:
- Electronics Engineering Technology
- Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology
- Engineering Graphics Technology
- Civil Engineering Technology
- Mechanical Engineering Technology
Membership in an ATE Industry Consortium benefits companies by providing:
- A cost effective approach to meeting employment needs for engineering technicians.
- A greater return on investment than traditional hiring practices.
- An ability to attract, motivate, and retain high quality employees.
- Recognition as a valued corporate citizen committed to workforce development and economic growth in your area.
- Access to students trained in team-based classroom and on-the-job problem solving techniques.
