Mid-America Technology Center

What Mid-America Technology Center does

Mid-America Technology Center (MATC) is a public career and technology education institution located in Wayne, Oklahoma, operating as part of the Oklahoma Department of Career and Technology Education system. Founded in 1971, the center serves high school juniors and seniors from over 20 partner school districts and adult learners across central Oklahoma through 30+ career training programs spanning 13 trade categories, including manufacturing (welding, CNC machining, industrial automation), transportation (automotive, collision repair, diesel), healthcare (practical nursing, EMT, medical office assistant, veterinary assistant), agriculture (horticulture, equine production), construction (carpentry, electrical, HVAC, plumbing), energy (broadband, lineworker), information technology (cybersecurity), law enforcement, cosmetology, and business.

The institution's core technical capability consists of hands-on laboratory and shop training environments equipped with industry-standard tools and simulation equipment, including patient simulation labs for the Practical Nursing program. Programs prepare students for industry-recognized certifications including NCLEX-PN, ASE, NCCER, NATEF, NREMT, CompTIA, Autodesk, and OSHA credentials. Delivery occurs through half-day sessions for high school students (8:10-11:10 AM or 12:45-3:45 PM) with bus transportation from district high schools, and full-time or short-term formats for adult learners, including adult-exclusive programs in Practical Nursing and Lineworker Technology.

MATC's revenue model combines state appropriations, federal Title IV aid (Pell Grants, OTAG), and tuition. Most programs are priced at $2.50 per credit hour, with the Next Step Scholarship covering tuition for in-district students under age 22; Practical Nursing is priced at $5,500 and Lineworker Technology at $8,000. The center also operates an Assessment Center providing third-party certification testing (ASE, ETS/Praxis, NCCER, Pearson VUE, PSI) as a transaction-fee revenue stream, and offers online courses through an Ed2Go partnership. MATC reports a 100% graduation rate and maintains a 100% NCLEX-PN first-attempt pass rate across academic years 2022-2023, 2023-2024, and 2024-2025, with Practical Nursing job placement rates of 95-100% over the same period.
