WATERVILLE, ME - Today, U.S. Senator Susan Collins visited the Mid-Maine Technical Center (MMTC) in Waterville, where she met with students and faculty and toured several of the center's programs. She also saw firsthand MMTC's new engineering and manufacturing program that is supported by federal funding she secured through her role on the Senate Appropriations Committee. The center serves students from Waterville, Winslow, and Messalonskee high schools.

"It was great to visit MMTC today to meet with students and instructors and to see several of the center's programs in action, including the new engineering and manufacturing program that is supported by federal funding I secured through my role on the Senate Appropriations Committee," said Senator Collins. "Seeing students work directly with advanced equipment and apply what they're learning in real time shows how this kind of training helps prepare them well for careers in high-skilled, competitive fields. I was also impressed to meet students in the nursing program who are on track to earn their certified nursing assistant credentials before graduating, helping meet the pressing needs of Maine's workforce."

In 2024, Senator Collins secured $718,000 to support MMTC's purchase and installation of machine tooling, 3D metal printing, and other equipment. Since 2021, Senator Collins has secured nearly $1.5 billion to support 672 projects across Maine's 16 counties.
