Investing in the Future: Altec Contributes to Expansion of Hillyard Technical Center

At Altec, we believe in teamwork and know that together, we can dig deeper and reach higher. Committed to supporting our communities and giving back to the next generation of associates, Altec was proud to contribute to the expansion of Hillyard Technical Center in St. Joseph, Missouri.

Hillyard Technical Center serves 19 different high schools in eight different counties in Northwest Missouri, allowing students the opportunity to gain real-world experience before entering the workforce. The 22,000 square foot facility will expand opportunities for local students and create a diesel technology laboratory, along with other programs.

“The biggest thing is for the kids,” said Mike Moore, engineering manager for Altec. “This will allow more kids to go into a skill trade and embark on a great career.”
