WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall, M.D., on Friday announced $1.18 million in funding from the U.S. Economic Development Agency for the expansion of Northwest Kansas Technical College’s training facility in Goodland. The college provides diesel and automotive technician training and EDA funding will allow the school to grow the number of students served annually by nearly 300.

“It is through job training and education that we will truly get people back to work and rebuild our great economy,” Marshall said. “NWKTC provides hands-on training and services to folks across northwest Kansas, providing opportunities for high-wage, high-skill positions that meet regional needs in agriculture, trucking and logistics fields. The expansion of NWKTC will equip graduates with the real-life job skills that allow them to enter the workforce and fill a growing need in the surrounding region.”
