Agency: Utah College of Applied Technology Line Item: Salt Lake/Tooele ATC Function The Salt Lake-Tooele ATC (SLTATC) has three sites in the Salt Lake Valley and also offers programs on-site at Granger and Tooele High Schools. It generated 265,873 membership hours in FY 2008 with 16 percent being high school students from five school districts. Until FY 2004, Salt Lake-Tooele ATC did not have a permanent home, but has since entered into lease agreements with Granite School District, one privately-owned business, and the Department of Workforce Services (DWS). Sharing space with the Department of Workforce Services is an innovative way to connect two entities with interrelated missions. The Department of Workforce Services mission states, 'DWS is Utah's Job Connection. It is a consolidation of all employment related functions into a comprehensive service delivery system. Now job seeker and employer customers can access the services they need without the confusion and burden of working with multiple agencies.' The location of DWS and the Salt Lake-Tooele Applied Technology Campus allows job seekers to be tested, assessed and trained for employment. Another location offers leased space from a private entity at the West Valley Truck Center, allowing SLTATC to train students in diesel mechanics without the expense of building a facility and procuring expensive equipment.
