Southwest Technical College recently announced two significant contributions that will strengthen its “Give a Little, Change a Life” scholarship fund and also advance the development of its new public safety training center, the Southwest Tech Training Advancement Center.
The AJM Foundation has made a generous donation to support students enrolling in high-demand technical programs, including welding, electrical and plumbing apprenticeships, and its EMT, AEMT, paramedic and firefighter programs, the college stated in a press release.
“This scholarship funding will help remove financial barriers for new students entering these vital construction and public safety fields,” the release states.
In addition, Alex Meisner Construction is sponsoring the Fire Training Tower within the new public safety training center, reinforcing their commitment to enhancing the local workforce and addressing critical community safety needs, the college announced.
Jennifer Meisner of the AJM Foundation shared, “We believe wholeheartedly in technical education and specifically removing barriers and providing opportunities for individuals to gain the skills they need to improve their lives.”
