Marquette-Alger Technical Middle College

At Marquette-Alger Technical Middle College, the learning doesn't stop when the traditional school year ends. Throughout the summer, we sit down one-on-one with each of our Grade 12 and Grade 13 Jobs for Michigan's Graduates students to set them up for a successful fall semester!

During these personalized check-ins, we cover a lot of ground to make sure everyone feels confident and ready to roll:
📍 Campus Walkthroughs: Finding classrooms together so there is LESS first-day stress.
📅 Weekly Scheduling: Mapping out classes, study blocks, and life balances.
💼 Summer Employment: Discussing current jobs, career goals, and building those essential workplace skills.

We are so proud of our students' dedication to building their futures. Keep up the amazing work! 🛠️✨

This past Saturday, May 2, we gathered at NMU’s Forest Roberts Theatre to celebrate an exciting milestone: the graduation of the Marquette-Alger Technical Middle College Class of 2026!

It was an inspiring afternoon filled with pride as students, families, friends, and faculty came together to honor the accomplishments of our 22 graduates. These students have balanced high school and college coursework with incredible dedication, and seeing that hard work pay off was a moment we won't soon forget.

To our graduates: You’ve officially conquered the Middle College journey! We are so proud of the resilience and ambition you’ve shown. We can’t wait to see the amazing things you’ll do next.

It is a beautiful day to be driving to Saginaw! We are headed to the Career Development Conference, an annual event for our Jobs for Michigan's Graduates students! Kadence and Madelyn are seniors who are enrolled in work based learning opportunities in their communities. Connor and Ethan are juniors in the Marquette-Alger Technical Middle College!

It’s a great day to be in Negaunee at the Northern Midwest Regional Council of Carpenters and Millwrights (NMRCC) Local 1510 Training Center! We have three Middle College and Jobs for Michigan's Graduates students from Ishpeming and Negaunee who are competing in the welding competition. Jimmy, Isaac, and Lee will demonstrate their welding skills and judged by the union and university representatives later in the day!

Job Posting - Heavy Equipment Operator | Negaunee, MI City of Negaunee is accepting applications for a Heavy Equipment Operator in their Department of Public Works.

April marks National Welding Month, dedicated to honoring the skilled hands that build our infrastructure. As we recognize the importance of this trade, we are also reflecting on the life of a Middle College graduate, Brayden Burnett.

While enrolled with the Middle College, Brayden earned 13 welding certifications and was recognized with the Cody Revord Exceptional Student Award. After graduation, Brayden moved to the Green Bay area and worked for Dürr and began an apprenticeship with the UA Local 400 Plumbers and Steamfitters at Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding.

We truly enjoyed working with Brayden while he was enrolled with the Middle College and loved cheering him on when we caught up with him after graduation.

To support the next generation of welders in his honor, Brayden’s family has established a memorial scholarship. You can learn more here: https://mapseducationfoundation.org/scholarships/brayden-burnett-memorial-welding-scholarship-fund/
