Coalition Membership Criteria

An Advanced Technology Center operation, ATC, is a commitment of persons and resources in the effort to reach, enhance, and add value to business and industry. 

Beyond bricks and mortar, an ATC operation is a conscious effort to bring together the resources of the college or institution in workforce development, economic development and business and industry outreach. Its organizational model reflects the needs of the local community and by its nature is involved in the application of new and leading-edge technology.

Coalition Membership in the NCATC is reserved for those organizations that fulfill the role of industry and technical training and service through a major commitment of resources, facilities, and focused efforts. To help guide the Membership Committee in its decision-making process, the following is a list of indicators to which each applicant should respond.

PLEASE SUBMIT FLYERS, BROCHURES, ARTICLES, OR OTHER INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR INSTITUTION THAT MIGHT PROVE HELPFUL TO THE MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE.

Examples in any or all of the following areas will assist the evaluation of the application.

1. Evidence of an ATC role and one that demonstrates a commitment to the philosophy of industry and technical training and service.
2. Evidence of a commitment of the governing and administrative structures of the institution.   
3. Evidence of a commitment of resources from the institution to the ATC.     
4. Evidence of a pro-active program promotion and delivery.   
5. Evidence of a commitment to providing benefits and services to industry and education beyond training.
