Thaddeus Stevens College Receives State Grant

"You have chosen very well," Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry Secretary Julia Hearthway said to students during her visit to  Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology earlier this year. Secretary Hearthway was at Thaddeus Stevens College to announce the award of a $148,970 JOBS-1st- PA Tech Grant.

Part of this money will be used to purchase two CNC machines for the Machine Tool and C.A.M. program. The CNC machines will be added to Stevens' existing equipment and is part of the schools initiative to upgrade facilities and equipment while doubling class size.

The expansion will be accommodated by moving the Machine Tool program to the Greiner Campus, a new campus Stevens is building at a former National Guard Armory nearby. It is projected to open in the Spring of 2017.
