WyoTech Earns Platinum Level Status From TMC As Friends of the Technician Sponsor
WyoTech technical college has been awarded Platinum level status as a Friend of the Technician by the Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC). Platinum status is conferred to companies, individuals or organizations that sponsor TMC's Friends of the Technician program at the $20,000 or higher level a year.

The PTDC is organizing TMCSuperTech2005, TMC's inaugural National Technical Skills Competition, to be held Sept. 18-20 in conjunction with TMC's 2005 Fall Meeting, Sept. 19-22, at the Valley Forge Convention Plaza in Valley Forge, Pa.
