Tallo is short for Talent Locator. Parents and business owners, think of it as LinkedIn meets Facebook. Students, think of Tallo as your professional social media. It's a great way to start building your personal brand. Tallo helps you create a digital resume that's cooler than a traditional document resume. You can create multi-media mobile portfolios that allow you to show potential colleges, employers, and scholarship providers what you can do.

The Midlands Youth Apprenticeship Program, a partnership with the Columbia Chamber, MTC, Apprenticeship Carolina, and participating Midlands school districts and employers, is a career-education pathway that helps build a viable, local workforce for high-demand, hard-to-fill positions.
​
It provides high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to get paid to learn as youth apprentices. Youth apprentices receive paid on-the-job training along with job-related education at MTC. The MYA Program also provides businesses and organizations the unique chance to meet qualified high-school students from a variety of fields and backgrounds who are already achieving at a high-level.
​
MTC has 10 different pathways in four Schools of Study for students to choose from in our apprenticeship program.
