ATI Programs in Full Swing at Sinclair and Clark State
Clark State graduation ceremony was held on June 25, 2009 for the 12 students who successfully earned their Advanced Technical Intelligence (ATI) Certificate through Clark State Community College. The ATI program also includes an associate’s degree that is designed for individuals desiring a career in Advanced Geospatial Intelligence (AGI) and Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT). Seven Clark State Community College students are currently pursuing their AS in ATI.
Dr. Deanne Otto, ATIC’s Director of Education, says "It is very satisfying to see the program with Clark State Community College maturing in to its second year. With a certificate graduation placement rate of 95% Clark's graduates are entering the profession at a successful rate. ATIC is committed to seeing all of our graduates working."
Surinder Jain, Associate Dean; Science, Math, & Engineering Division, Sinclair Community College, reports “ATIC must be doing something really great because we’ve never seen anything like what Sinclair’s ATI program is experiencing with over 93% retention. The bright light at the end of the tunnel is the biggest attraction for those completing the ATI program. The ATI program continues to attract good students.”
Applied Technologies, Clark State Community College says “As ATI is in its second year at Clark State, enrollment numbers are right up there with any program we’ve ever offered. This is a wonderful partnership, offering such a unique programmatic area, and very good things are happening all around. In a down economy, our programs are typically counter cyclical and the word is getting out on ATIC and the exceptional opportunities this affords.”
