Northeast Wisconsin Technical College, Wisconsin, United States
Strategic Partner: Universidad Politécnica de Guanajuato, Mexico
Green Bay to Guanajuato (G2G) Exchange
Northeast Wisconsin Technical College (NWTC) is partnering with Universidad Politécnica de Guanajuato (UPG) to develop a pilot, study abroad program for students enrolled in STEM programming, typically an underrepresented field for students going abroad. The program will enable the partnering institutions to expand access to cross-cultural, linguistic, and technical skills training for engineering students. The exchange program will consist of a two-week outbound experience for students from NWTC’s Trades & Engineering Technologies program to participate in technical skills training activities in Mexico, while students from UPG’s Manufacturing Technologies program participate in a three-week intensive exchange in the U.S.to gain exposure to their academic field, as well as the native English language and culture.
