There are many high tech jobs available in the United States. A shortage of qualified technicians is developing rapidly. Yet, technical programs are suffering from declining enrollments. Just as there was (and some say still is) a nursing crisis, America is approaching the same in high tech technicians. What can be done about it? Terry Bartelt, a former chair at the Fox Valley Technical Institute, and instructor for 25 years there, has come up with 10 Tips to Thinking Outside the box for increasing, maintaining enrollment for technical programs. Fox Valley currently has 450 students in their technical programs. How many does your school have? Many of Terry’s tips are tips that you can implement right away with little or no expense except time. Come to a FREE webinar this Friday, February 29, to hear Terry’s 10 Tips and start increasing your techinical programs enrollment.
