MTC Scholarship Recipients

These five young men and women are looking forward to start-

ing their post-high school education at Great Basin College on

the MTC Scholarship that was provided by Kinross Round

Mountain. At right is Jesus Martinez. Jesus is from Dyer, NV,

and is a Tonopah High School graduate. He can’t wait to study

electrical at GBC. “I am looking forward to learning more about

electrical systems,” said Jesus. “I have a lot of work experience

on a ranch and I’m excited to add to what I know,” he contin-

ued. Jesus currently works as a summer laborer at the General

Store. Below is Laila Mock, a 2020 graduate of Round Moun-

tain High School. Laila is eager to start the welding program at

GBC. Laila learned of her love of welding while in her agricul-

ture mechanics classes at RMHS. She was in an ag mechanics

class which introduced her to a vocational career. She also

passed her Career Readiness exam earning her a CTE De-

gree. Laila chose to go with the MTC Program because, “it

sounded like something I could really enjoy and make a career

out of,” she said. “I love welding and when I got an opportunity

to make a lifetime career out of it I couldn’t hesitate to take it,”

continued Laila.

Brian Millard, pictured at right, is part of RMGC’s mill utility

crew. Brian is a 2019 graduate of Round Mountain High

School. Brian will be entering the MTC Program in the fall on a

Kinross Round Mountain Scholarship. Brian notes, “I decided

to pursue the program because it was a scholarship for a trade

I was very interested in and because I feel like it’s a great

scholarship! I am looking forward to working hard for a degree

that will be well worth it in the end. I also think college will be a

great way to help me grow as a person and pursue a great

career.”

MTC Scholarship Opportunities

Eighteen year olds have their whole lives ahead of them. The

choices can be overwhelming at times. Go to college? Go

straight to work? Get a vocational certification? One option

proves to be a good choice for many students each year.

Kinross Round Mountain pairs up with Great Basin College in

Elko, Nevada, to offer high school graduates vocational educa-

tion and training in one five fields in their MTC (Maintenance

Training Cooperative) program: diesel technician, instrumenta-

tion, electrical technician, industrial millwright, and welding.

RMGC provides the full cost of the program’s tuition and fees

for up to five high school seniors each year. This year five

young men and women were selected as scholarship recipi-

ents.

Each course is a fast-paced, highly comprehensive program. In

48 weeks, students earn an associates degree or certificate in

one of the programs. Students learn skills necessary to help

them excel in their field in the 21st century. The demand for

skilled labor has always been high. Since 1994, RMGC (along

with other support companies such as Cashman) has part-

nered with GBC to

offer scholarships.

“The scholarships

arose out of desper-

ate need in the in-

dustry for mainte-

nance trade work-

ers, and this was a

way to develop that

growth locally,” says

Emily Hendrickson,

Corporate Social

Responsibility Spe-

cialist for RMGC. In

recent years the

focus has shifted to

providing opportuni-

ties to local stu-

dents. “RMGC is

unique because we

only consider applicants from our local area, rather than from

all across the state. This is because we truly believe in encour-

aging the growth of our community and want to provide our

students with the best possible opportunities,” added Emily.

RMGC is also involved in advertising the program and getting

into the schools to speak with students about it.

Another unique aspect of the program is that RMGC directly

receives all applicants from Austin, Tonopah and Round Moun-

tain. This allows RMGC to interview qualified candidates on

site and have a committee that chooses the students who will

be receiving the scholarships. This year’s scholarships were

awarded to the following young men and women: Laila Mock,

Colton Alstatt, Jesus Martinez, Reese Hansen, and Brian Mil-

lard.

Why get a degree or certificate? Why not go straight to work?

The advantages of getting an education before going to work

are numerous. Emily Hendrickson explains: “With this program,

students receive an associate’s degree, which normally takes

two years, in just one. When they come out of the program,

they are equipped with valuable skills they will carry with them

and build upon their entire lives. They will enter the work force

at a higher rate of pay and have skills that they can put to use

in any industry—not just mining. While we hope that our MTC

students will want to come work at RMGC after they have com-

pleted the program, it is in no way a requirement. Our main

goal is to provide development opportunities for these young

adults and equip them with the skills to set them up for a life-

time of success.”

The certificates and degrees offered through the MTC program

cover many aspects of heavy equipment, mining, and construc-

tion maintenance. The Diesel Technician degree covers all

aspects of mainte-

nance and repair of

heavy equipment

related to mining

and construction.

The Industrial Mil-

wright degree fo-

cuses on areas like

fabricating and

conveyor belts, just

to name a few. The

Instrumental pro-

gram teaches stu-

dents all aspects of

pressures, temper-

atures, flows, and

pH. The Electrical

program focuses

on industrial electri-

cal systems, including lighting and power distribution. And the

Welding degree teaches skills in fabrication and welding in

maintenance, construction and heavy equipment. The graphic

shown below was taken from the GBC website. An in-depth

description of each degree/certificate, along with video testimo-

ny from former students, is found there. Go to www.gbcnv.edu

for more information.

Luckily for Smoky Valley youth, RMHS offers a program to in-

troduce students to a variety of vocational careers. The agricul-

ture mechanics classes taught by Heidi Tran teach kids the

basics of skills like welding, electrical, small engines, tools and

more. “It is my hope that students will find something that in-

spires and excites them in terms of a fu- (continued on page 4)

“I’d like to thank Kinross Round Mountain for giving me the

opportunity to go to school for a trade that can

take me places.” ~Reese Hansen

“I feel very honored being awarded the MTC Scholarship. I

believe it has opened up many opportunities for me, giving

me a chance to gain a lot knowledge. I plan on using this

scholarship to start my career here at Kinross Round

Mountain. I then plan on furthering my career in Louisiana

as an off-shore electrician. I think this is a great reward that

I will proudly take and make the most of. I thank RMGC for

selecting me and look forward to the road ahead.”

~Colton Alstatt

Career Ready Training at GBC

(continued from page 3) ture career,” said Ms. Tran. Since she

began working at RMHS eight years ago, she has helped many

students apply for the MTC Scholarship for GBC. In addition to

agriculture mechanics, the JAG program at RMHS also enforc-

es good work ethic, interview skills, and on-the-job training.

Instructor Carrie Howell works closely with RMGC to provide as

much opportunity as possible for young men and women at

RMHS to find a career path that’s right for them.

For a community this small and remote, the MTC Scholarships

provided by RMGC is a tremendous opportunity for graduates

to pursue a career in a vocational field. Whether they want to

return to their hometown and work at the mine, or continue

their careers elsewhere, the MTC Scholarship gets young men

and women on the path to a successful career in any industry.

Emily Hendrickson adds, “The MTC Scholarship is just so im-

pactful on the students and their families. It is a way for RMGC

to give back to the community in a meaningful and long-lasting

way. By providing these training opportunities to local youth,

we are helping to set them up for a lifetime of success.”
