Milwaukee Area Technical College will pilot a new program for students who have high-functioning autism, opening doors for them to pursue higher education and jobs the college says manufacturers are scrambling to fill.
The program, which teaches CNC machine operation and starts this fall, is being run through a partnership with the Los Angeles-based Uniquely Abled Project. MATC joins more than a half-dozen community colleges in adopting the program this year, including campuses in Minnesota, Ohio and Massachusetts. The college is paying $10,000 for access to the Uniquely Abled Project s guidance, training and materials.
The program s launch carries a personal significance to Jamie Berger, a member of the MATC Foundation s board and a founder and co-owner of The Box in downtown Milwaukee. She is a major donor to the college and was instrumental in getting the program to MATC.
