This video, from Internet Scout Research Group, features Annette Parker and is intended to accompany the 2024-2025 ATE (Advanced Technological Education) Impacts book. This book showcases the important role that two-year community and technical colleges play in building the skilled technical workforce and provide evidence of the United States' critical economic need for technician education. The accompanying videos created in collaboration with Vox Television share the experiences of ATE alumni (students, administrators, educators, and industry partners) and the profound impact of ATE initiatives on their lives and careers. The book is available to view separately.
This video highlights the success of Allan Hancock College's agriculture program, which was created through ATE funding. Erin Krier, coordinator and assistant professor of agriculture, gives a brief overview of the agriculture program, its development, and the contribution of ATE funding. Emphasis is placed on partnerships with industry, which provide paid internships for students and help the college tailor classroom instruction to industry needs. The video highlights the experience of program alumnus Yeni Martinez, who became a pest control advisor at Betteravia Farms after graduation. Martinez' journey to agriculture, the program's benefits, and its impacts are discussed.
This video runs 4:57 minutes in length. Additional ATE Impacts videos are available to view separately.
