Certificates Awarded at Midway Technical Institute Graduation

The private school operates under contract with the Illinois State Employment Service to provide training under the 1962 Manpower Development and Training Act. Students receive a living allowance based on dependents until completion. Many graduates could not attend due to ongoing work, with one saying I got a trade and a job now I can be an income citizen. School president L T Allison and executive secretary Hazel Gray were named, with Kenneth Dawson as program coordinator.
