Summary
Mid-State Technical College recently celebrated the grand opening of its Wayne H. Bushman Advanced Manufacturing, Engineering Technology, and Apprenticeship (AMETA) Center in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. This new 48,000-square-foot facility aims to tackle the workforce shortage in the region by equipping students with the skills needed for high-demand careers in advanced manufacturing and engineering.
The establishment of the AMETA Center is a significant step in enhancing apprenticeship opportunities and fostering economic development in Wisconsin.

Why this matters for apprenticeships
The AMETA Center represents a vital investment in the future of registered apprenticeship programs, emphasizing the importance of hands-on, earn-and-learn experiences. By bridging the gap between education and employment, it prepares a new generation of skilled workers who can contribute to the local economy and help address industry needs.
