SEASONED PROS CONTINUE TO GROW Everyone wins when employees grow their skill set and advance their careers with WCC’s new in-house apprenticeship program.
When four maintenance technicians from the University of Michigan Athletics Department complete an HVAC class at Washtenaw Community College on August 2, they will become the first graduates of a new apprenticeship program created by the two Ann Arbor-based institutions. 4 | Launch Fall 2018
Kevin Wilkins, Tim Larsen, Phil Stanny and Jim Turner are four veteran members of a nine-person team that spends its days (and often nights and weekends) maintaining more than 2 million square feet of U-M Athletics facilities; everything from venerable Yost Ice Arena to the brand new track and field building to the rowing team’s boat house on Belleville Lake.
all current and future U-M Athletics maintenance technicians interested in advancing their careers with the department.
They perform year-round preventative maintenance and are the department’s first responders when corrective maintenance is required – like last fall, when a bathroom pipe burst while 110,000 fans were packed into Michigan Stadium for a football game. It was closed, fixed and reopened before fans streamed toward bathrooms at halftime.
It’s a win-win situation for employees and the department, according to U-M Executive Senior Associate Athletic Director Rob Rademacher. “It’s an opportunity for our employees to further their careers, gain a higherlevel skill set and make themselves better,” Rademacher said. “On the other hand, it benefits the department with higher-skilled employees who can do more, and it helps to create a culture where people want to work here.”
“Events are what funds this place,” Larsen says. “You can’t just shut things down.” For the past 15 months, the same foursome – which has a combined 56 years of service with the department – have been pioneers in an apprenticeship program they conceived and helped to develop. Upon successful completion of two HVAC classes, an electrical class and a welding class at WCC, they’re eligible to be bumped up one grade level in U-M’s employment structure and receive the associated hourly pay increase. The program came together through input from the technicians, their union, U-M Athletics, the university’s human resources department and WCC’s Office of Apprenticeship. The result is curriculum that will be offered to
“It’s a win-win situation for employees and the department.” - Rob Rademacher, U-M Executive Senior Associate Athletic Director
All four technicians said returning to a classroom and laboratory setting made them nervous at first, but said the instructors at WCC have made the experience a positive one. “Some of the students in the class are coming in really green, so the instructors challenge us a little harder because we’ve been around and done a little bit,” said Turner. “But all four instructors we’ve had have gone above and beyond and done a fantastic job. Their skill level is awesome.”
INTERESTED IN A CAREER IN HVACR? STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITIES WCC HVACR students learn to solve problems they will encounter on the job by diagnosing and fixing real, working equipment during class time. WCC offers students the opportunity to get hands-on learning with state-of-the-art equipment. Three labs incorporate 7,000 square ft. of instructional space. Students train using: •T op-of-the-line, high-efficiency air conditioning units and standard units • Geo-thermal technology • Heat pumps, oil heating, natural gas equipment, boilers and electrical systems • A fully-equipped sheet metal lab
JOBS The majority of WCC HVACR students find employment by the time they finish the program. HVACR technicians work in a variety of areas, such as repair, installation and maintenance, and sales. Technicians may also become independent contractors. 5

New Class Allows Students to Explore Health Care Careers The nation’s nursing shortage receives plenty of national headlines, but other health care positions are facing their own severe lack of future employees. As the country’s population ages, the demand for health care providers of all kinds is skyrocketing. Studies indicate the U.S. needs to produce as many as 2.5 million health care workers by 2025 and that nurses are the third most in-demand, following home health aides and medical and lab technologists and technicians. According to the Workforce Intelligence Network (WIN), over 2,400 online job postings for health care employees occurred in the first quarter of 2017 in Washtenaw County. Beginning this fall, WCC is offering a onecredit course titled Healthcare Exploration (HSC 103) to introduce a variety of health care careers and WCC programs to students who might not be sure which career path is best-suited to their skills. The class includes a self-assessment and an opportunity to connect with health care professionals and current WCC students in various health care programs.

Jason Whitmer says he considers himself a creative type by nature, but he’s also quick to point out that he knows “a fair share of starving artists.” So, he went looking for something different. It’s a fair assumption to say the 35-year-old Ann Arbor native won’t worry about his next meal once he begins his new career. Plus, he’s found an outlet for his artistic desires in an unusual place – a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner.
Medical imaging actually is a nice mix of being a visual medium with aspects of art, but applied in a technical, scientific way... I needed something practical and reliable, while still tickling that creative, artistic itch that I have.” “There is nothing that can create images of the human body like an MRI. It’s almost like a high-definition look inside. You see things nobody else can see.” Whitmer went straight into Washtenaw Community College’s one-year MRI Post-Associate Certificate program after spending the prior two years completing an Associate in Applied Science Degree in Radiography. His final semester includes 32 hours of clinical work per week at the VA Hospital in Ann Arbor. After completing the national exam, Whitmer will become a registered MRI technologist – which has a median annual salary of $69,930, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Completion of the Radiography program at WCC not only prepares students for an entry-level career in that field – which itself has a median annual salary of $58,400, according to the DOL – but also opens multiple doors to other specialties. Radiography graduates may pursue training in MRI, computed tomography (CT) or mammography imaging at WCC. The college also has an articulation agreement with Eastern Michigan University for students who wish to pursue a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Health Administration. Whitmer became a certified and registered radiographer in June 2017, but said he decided midway through the program that he was going to continue down the MRI path because he’s intrigued by the physics behind the scanner and enjoys the challenge of running the software, which he compares to sitting in the cockpit of an airplane. “It’s just a great feeling to finally feel like I’m on the path I want to be on,” Whitmer said. “It’s really exciting.”

Her advice to them is to start slow and gather some information before making a decision.
WCC opened the Student Resource Center more than 40 years ago to address the unique needs of nontraditional students, including single parents, people unemployed outside of the home, and others that were economically disadvantaged.
CC Dean of Support Services Liz Orbits, understands that adults might be hesitant to come back to school.
“I would encourage anyone who is thinking of coming back to school to take the first step,” said Orbits. “Come talk to us. Follow the process and see where it leads. It might be a lot easier than you think.” The place where adult students can access support services at WCC is the Student Resource Center, located
8 | Launch Fall 2018
The center uses a model in which advisers work directly with students, assess their needs and help them find resources to address those needs. “Changing technology is one of the most significant challenges facing adult students,” said Orbits. “Some careers
available today didn’t exist 10 years ago. Through career assessments, we can help students identify their strengths and find a career that they might not have pictured for themselves.” In addition to helping students get comfortable with new technology, the center also helps connect economically disadvantaged students with community resources to meet the basic needs of food, shelter and transportation. “If the basic needs aren’t addressed, nothing is going to happen,” said Orbits. “You have to feel safe and secure to be able to study.”
GED to Physical Therapy Assistant Degree Emily Vezina of Northvillle enrolled in Washtenaw Community College’s Adult Transitions program to earn her GED. Now, the mother of two plans to graduate next year with a Physical Therapist Assistant associate degree. “I started back at WCC by just taking one class at a time,” said Vezina. “After taking time off from school to have children, it was really great to go out and do something for myself again.” Vezina was able to receive childcare assistance from WCC as well as multiple WCC Foundation scholarships.
My experience at WCC,whether it was working with advisors or attending classes, has never been anything except positive.” - Emily Vezina
Childcare Support Goes Above and Beyond Sharda Taylor of Ypsilanti is grateful for the support she received from WCC. Taylor was able to get childcare assistance through the college, while taking classes toward a transfer degree to study Social Work at EMU. Although the Childcare Center on campus was full at the time and not accepting new students, WCC provided financial support for childcare at another center. Taylor says that being a role model for her children is one of the reasons she returned to school as an adult student. “I’m really trying to set the example that it’s not too late to go to college,” said Taylor. “It is harder when you wait, but it can be done. Having an education is too important to give up.”
It’s not too late to go to college ... Having an education is too important to give up.” - Sharda Taylor

n fact, about one-third of all students transfer to another college or university within three years of enrolling in WCC. Many of those students transfer to the University of Michigan. In the 2015–2016 academic year, 176 WCC students – more than any other community college – transferred to U-M. For students interested in a transfer program at WCC, the best place to start is talking to a transfer advisor. “Advisors are here to help students take the most efficient educational path to get to the school of their choice,” said Alexandra McCracken, a college advisor that works with students that are interested in transferring to U-M. “We take all the information transfer students need to know and give it to them, so they don’t have to go looking for it.”

McCracken’s advice to students that may not have done well in high school is not to give up on their college dreams. One of the best things about WCC is that it gives many students a second chance. “Maybe a student hasn’t been as strong in high school or even dropped out of high school and got a GED. Those are not roadblocks,” said McCracken. “The more college credit you have, the more colleges will focus on your college records.” Atiya Addie of Ann Arbor struggled to keep up her grades when she first enrolled in WCC in the fall of 2012. Overloaded with a fulltime job, a part-time job and a full-time class schedule, Addie soon dropped out. No longer working at either job, she decided to return to school after two years. She considered enrolling at
Eastern Michigan University, but instead took the advice of friends and family who encouraged her to return to WCC due to its lower tuition rate and smaller class size.
a letter encouraging her to consider transferring to U-M.
“Going to U-M was something I wanted to do for a very long time. I put those dreams aside in high school, because I wasn’t a great student and didn’t think I could get in there,” said Addie. “Once I got that letter, my dreams of going to U-M came back, and I felt it was a possibility for in the 2015–2016 academic year me after all.”

Addie is looking forward to graduating from U-M with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology next May.
“After I came back, I was doing really well. I went from getting D’s and F’s to getting A’s,” said Addie. In her second year back at WCC, Addie received
With more than 130 transfer agreements, WCC offers students many options for starting their college careers here and completing a degree before transferring to a four-year college.

or many, having children means big changes in their lives. Jacob Visovatti is no exception.
Classically trained in cello, voice and conducting from Ball State University, Visovatti wanted to find a career that allowed him the opportunity to support a new baby while not feeling like he had to grind away at the music industry for years. “I wanted to find something that offered real-life problem solving and creative challenges—like those that I enjoy working through as a musician.” Initially, he found work as an implementation specialist for a technology education company. It was while working there that he began to develop an interest in computer programming.
The combination of affordable tuition, practical focus and reputation of WCC made it an easy choice.” Visovatti knew he would need training in order to find good employment. And, living in West Virginia with his wife and newborn son, he had many local college options available while he looked to jumpstart a new occupation. Instead, he turned to online classes offered from Washtenaw Community College. “I could have taken online classes from any school,” he recalled. “But I had heard specific stories from people I knew about WCC being a vital path to their success in the programing industry. The combination of affordable tuition, practical focus and reputation of WCC made it an easy choice.” As a Saline native, Visovatti set a plan to change his career path and move back to Ann Arbor where he says there is an overwhelming need for talent, and many opportunities to learn the industry and network. “I was at a point in my life where I had to recognize the responsibility to managing my time in order to find the career success I wanted. Once I started at WCC I was impressed with the practical nature of the courses.” He achieved his goal by landing a job as a software apprentice at Pillar Technology—a technology consulting company located in downtown Ann Arbor. “For around three months, apprentices study and train with senior team members, gaining additional experience on real-world challenges. I’ll be graduating from the program right around the time my second child arrives.”
