Why You Should Participate
Program activities are focused on building skills in reading, writing, and math. This work will not only help become a stronger student, but can help you focus on the road ahead, which may save you time and money.

"Anoka [Tech] opened the doors for me and gave me all the opportunities and facilities that I needed. They made me feel welcome the first time that I came here and helped me on my career path."
After getting started in the Health Technology program, Diana successfully completed the coursework and testing to start in the OTA program.](https://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/439446298_1433035227575534_4718210899010240921_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=18de74&_nc_ohc=wXFhMMEkMq0Ab6_Cqe4&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&oh=00_AfCMCWD4y1pJLvnQ9k9vY_TPu7_4lubywzlhT1Dg-PnXng&oe=662F901F)
