The MAT2 Program is an innovative, industry-driven workforce development strategy that develops a loyal workforce, provides a sustainable pipeline of talent, and ensures that industry needs are met.
With the MAT2 Program, you earn while you learn. The program provides a living-wage, a debt-free associate degree, and an industry-aligned education.
“I’ve always been very interested in science and math, but it wasn’t until after I researched MAT2 that I discovered the program fit me like a glove. I’m earning a wage, and it was completely free schooling, which was one of my big concerns about college.”
– Kelsey Erne, MAT2 Graduate
“ZF has been a MAT2 employer since the beginning of the program, so I know that it can definitely meet employers’ needs for advanced, highly-skilled technicians. Investing in the program is an investment in our company’s future, and I highly encourage other employers to consider joining the program moving forward as a way to help bridge their talent gap.”
– Sophie Stepke, ZF Training Manager and MAT2 Strategic Steering Committee Chairperson
“One of the great things about hiring MAT2 graduates after their apprenticeship is that they’ve already been here for three years, and they are already comfortable within the environment and so they’re more effective. Our former apprentices are not afraid to speak up, and their input is valuable because of the experience they have.”
