“Form 990-EZ, Part III, Line (28-31) - Technic Training Center is a nonprofit organization in Lynden, WA that that helps young men and women develop skills for future careers while exploring woodworking, modern manufacturing, and business. Students who participate in Technic depart their regular school site and go to the Technic facility during the school day. School partners commit to provide high school credit, allow access for participation, collaborate on activities, and coordinate transportation for students to Technic during the school day. Youth participants accomplish approximately 150 hours of on site training time each semester at Technic. Credits offered are confirmed by the school partner and are aligned with their student's academic needs. Primarily serving young people in Whatcom County, participating school groups include Lynden High School, Cornerstone Christian School, Lynden Christian School, Lynden Academy, and Open Homeschool. We have also served students at Ferndale High School and Nooksack Valley High School. During the 2022 program year, 172 students participated in the high school partnership program. At Technic we seek to tailor our training activities to help the school program achieve certain credit offerings For example, with Lynden High school, their students earn an elective Career and Technical education credit and with our most recent group, an applied math credit. Technic Training Center students are also able to earn relevant industry certifications such a credential from the Woodwork Career Alliance. During its training activities, Technic Training Center has identified the goal for student participants to take part in community manufacturing projects during their training experience. As a win-win opportunity for learners and the local community, Technic students partner with community businesses and service organizations that have a genuine product need. Technic students complete the design, manufacture, and delivery of a needed product. Partnering organizations share in the expense of producing a project by providing financially for the costs of that product. During completion of community projects, student participants develop competency in a numerous variety of skills to execute its production including tool and machinery operations, utilizing plans and blueprints, material optimization, mass production, cost analysis, advanced manufacturing, and customer service. Students experience having a real-world customer with real quality expectations. They also experience the pride and satisfaction of knowing their lasting work will impact the lives of others. Community manufacturing projects allow Technic Training Center the opportunity to generate program income that offset operating expenses of the non-profit training organization. Any funds generated by Technic during the completion of a community manufacturing project are utilized in the philanthropic mission of the Technic Training Center non-profit organization.
