2022 Recipient

Congratulations to Doug Laven, a Mechatronics Instructor at South Central College in Mankato, Minnesota on receiving the 2022 NCATC Innovation Award. This award is designed to recognize workforce professionals that have designed and implemented a significant innovation that has led to technical workforce gains, upskilling, or national certifications recognized by business and industry. Along with NCATC, NOCTI and Nocti Business Solutions are pleased to sponsor this award and the outstanding individuals who earn this honor!

2020 & 2021 Recipient

COVID-19 was and is nothing to joke about.  It stopped all large indoor gatherings and all that goes with them.  As a result, the NCATC Innovation Award was not given out in 2020 or 2021.

However, NCATC and all of our wonderful Strategic Partners and Education members became super innovated in keep our mission moving forward.
