Learn how Mid-State Technical College, a small institution in central Wisconsin, completed a multi-year capital campaign, raising $13 million for construction costs and $10 million for furniture, fixtures, equipment, and technology. The college's cross-functional campaign team leveraged local, state, and federal partnerships to build and equip an Advanced Manufacturing, Engineering Technology, and Apprenticeship (AMETA) Center that will be ready to usher in industry 4.0 technology and student and incumbent-worker skilling opportunities. This campaign was in response to a workforce problem affecting the rural communities the college serves. It affects the district employers' current and long-term stability and growth and was assessed and validated by stakeholder data. The college and its partners developed a collaborative solution to develop a grassroots capital campaign without the use of consultants or fully dedicated campaign staff. The college secured funds from over 125 local, state, and national partners amidst the pandemic’s political and economic uncertainty.
