Education and experience are both important when it comes to choosing a career path. On the one hand, a degree signals to a potential employer that you're hard-working and disciplined. But, education without the skills to back it up may only take you so far.
As a recent LinkedIn News article reports, many employers value skills more than degrees. Understandably, they want people who know how to perform the jobs they're trying to fill.
Fortunately, with Mountainland Technical College, you don't have to choose between a degree and the skills you need for long-term success in your field. As the largest and fastest-growing technical college in Utah, MTECH is a great choice for anyone who wants to receive an education and gain experience simultaneously.
Why MTECH?
When considering your options for technical colleges, there are several reasons to put MTECH at the top of the list. First, MTECH is a five-time Best of State winner, which is reflected in the school's tagline: "Affordable education. Hands-on training. Experienced graduates."
Small class sizes, hands-on training and expert instructors are just some of the many perks of attending this technical college. By providing industry-driven education, MTECH meets community needs and prepares students for a stable, successful future with their newfound skills.
"I am so glad I got to have the opportunity to learn as much as I did at this school," a former student wrote for an Indeed review. "The cost is nowhere near what you will pay at a regular college.
