“The learning and personal environment at campus and in the classroom was professional yet relaxed. I felt prepared for the workforce and was hired within six months.”

Cheyenne Burnico | Product Specialist at Renaissance
Administrative Professional Program, May 2017
“The small class sizes allow ample time for instructors to spend individual time with you if necessary. I loved that the majority of classes were available to me online, and they all held similar expectations. This allowed me to build and maintain a routine. Additionally, I recall many of the lessons throughout this program that directly apply to my position; this gives me an advantage to know how to navigate and utilize these tools to their full capacity.”

Adam Clussman | Software Engineer at Skyward
IT Software Developer Program, May 2017
“I was actually hired as an intern at Skyward during my last semester. Many companies go directly to Mid-State for new hires, so as a result, there is a good chance that you can get a jump-start on your career simply by attending Mid-State. You also have a relaxed environment to learn in, which is huge for me.”

Nick Dassow | Mechanic at Lamers Bus Lines
Diesel & Heavy Equipment Technician Program, May 2011
“I felt I was given enough instruction on what to expect in the field to do an adequate and safe job for my employer. My instructor made sure that all of his students paid close attention to detail. Because he was also once a technician in the field, he brought his own real-world experiences to the classroom.”

A.J. Grusczynski | System Analyst at Delta Dental of Wisconsin
IT Software Developer Program, May 2012
“My education has given me a solid foundation for an exciting career in information technology. Attending Mid-State played a significant role in receiving the internship that led to my job at Delta Dental of Wisconsin.”

Alivia Jagielo | Executive Assistant II at Renaissance

Nicole Trickle | Financial Accountant II at Renaissance
Accounting Program, May 2002

“I’ve had the opportunity to apply my education to real-world situations while attending classes. I work full time and attend school ¾ time (attending evening classes). On numerous occasions, I have been able to take what I was learning in class and apply it into my current role. Pairing my education with my role at Roehl has given me the opportunity to grow and advance in the workforce.”

Brian Wood | Process Controls Engineer at ESE, Inc.
Industrial Automation & Controls Engineering Technology, December 2016
“I chose to attend Mid-State because I had been working in fast food and felt like I had the potential to do more. Within 6 months of graduating, I was working as a process controls engineer and I would say I made the right decision. My instructor had a great blend of professional experience and teaching expertise. A large part of the success of his program was due to the connections he had made in the industry and his ability to leverage them into work and internship opportunities for his students.”

Justin Zbleski | Millwright Apprentice at Verso
Industrial Mechanical Technician Program, December 2016
“I was informed of an internship opportunity at the Verso mill during my third semester in the program. I was hired and worked throughout the summer before my fourth and final semester. Just before graduation, I was contacted by Verso about an opening they had becoming available, and hired on the spot.”
