Career Exploration
MATC offers a variety of career exploration options for students to jump start their college careers. See below for more information on various programs offered through MATC.
Youth Apprenticeship
Wisconsin’s Youth Apprenticeship program is a part of a statewide School-to-Work initiative. It is designed for junior and senior grade level high school students who want hands-on learning in an occupational area at a worksite along with classroom instruction. This one or two year elective program combines academic and technical instruction with mentored on-the-job learning.
The Youth Apprenticeship Program is managed by different consortiums and its availability differs by school district. For more information, please see your high school counselor, contact your local Youth Apprenticeship consortium or visit this website: http://dwd.wisconsin.gov/youthapprenticeship/
Summer Camps
MATC offers summer camps on a variety of topics for you to explore potential careers in a variety of fields.
Home School Options
If students are home-schooled or enrolled in a private, tribal, or school district outside of Wisconsin they may not qualify for certain dual credit options. If students are sixteen years of age and meet course prerequisites, they may enroll in MATC coursework. This coursework can be covered through private pay or a third-party funder that may be in agreement to cover student tuition. Since Start College Now is not available during summer terms, students can also choose standard enrollment during this time frame.
Career Coach
From the very beginning of your time at MATC, the Career Counselors/Advisors at MATC's Student Career Center have an abundance of resources to help you make decisions about your college program and your career.
