“We honor and recognize the value of skilled trades and show our unwavering support for students across the country who have dedicated themselves to pursuing careers in technical education. We also celebrate the skills, dedication, and commitment these students have developed and the positive impact they will have on society—while fostering a culture of respect and dignity in the workplace.”
— Lisa Marshall, Festo Program Manager for NC3 and KTEC Schools Governance Board Member
Dr. Angela Andersson, founder of KTEC, reflected on the event’s significance for students and the local community. “Our Signing Day symbolizes the future we’re building together as we prepare to move to our new 56,000-square-foot facility, which will serve as KTEC’s permanent home at 1901 63rd Street. Doors are set to open for students by fall 2026. Through our partnerships with institutions like Gateway Technical College and employers like Snap-on, our students gain the foundational knowledge and industry awareness they need to thrive in high-demand career fields in Kenosha County and beyond.”
The Signing Day ceremony will also provide the public with an opportunity to tour the KTEC Schools of Innovation campus and learn more about its career pathways, including automation, manufacturing, transportation, construction trades, and health sciences.
