Gov. Wolf Visits Thaddeus Stevens College of Tech.

    Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf paid a visit to Thaddeus Stevens College of Tech (TSCT). and spent time in the Machine Tool Program.  Gov. Wolfe was greeted by the students and the industry representatives on the programs Occupational Advisory Committee.

    Gov. Wolf spoke to various students and listened to employers explain the importance of the training provided at  TSCT and the difficulty of hiring employees with relevant skills.  The message was made clear to Gov. Wolf but one employer said it best, "If you come to this college and major in Machine Tool, you are guaranteed a job."  
  "The future of Pennsylvania is in places like this," Wolf said in a classroom of students.  "That's what I talked about in my budget." His budget proposes spending an additional $15 million on community colleges and two-year technical schools like Thaddeus Stevens.
    It was a good day for the college and we would like to think that Thaddeus Stevens College of Tech. may start to get the attention       it deserves.
