Clay Christensen:
At Mountainland Technical College, we don’t just train students — we build Utah’s workforce.

Our graduates don’t just fill positions – they fuel business growth. Each MTECH graduate generates an average of 265,000 dollars per year in economic output, and for every tax dollar invested in an MTECH student, the state receives a 142 dollar return in economic activity – year after year.
Our industry-driven curriculum, employer partnerships and hands-on training ensure that MTECH graduates step into the workforce confident, capable and ready to make an impact.
Not only that, MTECH is one of the most affordable higher education options in Utah, with 99 percent of our students graduating debt-free.
