A partnership between Washburn Tech, Mars Wrigley and the Kansas Board of Regents will expand training opportunities in high-paying jobs for northeast Kansans.
The technical college on Wednesday afternoon unveiled an expansion of its certified technician program to be offered for the first time at the school s east campus, thanks to a $50,000 grant from Mars Wrigley and a $25,475 grant from the Regents. It s a program we think is an important step in bringing jobs into Topeka, said Washburn University president Jerry Farley. We will bring other people into Topeka because of what we can offer here.
