Northeast Community College (NECC) is partnering with five rural community school districts, Wayne State College, the University of Nebraska at Omaha's College of Information Science and Technology, and its local business community to develop and implement the Technology Academy of Northeast Nebraska (TANN Academy). The TANN Academy is working to increase the number and preparedness of electronics and information technology technicians by developing, implementing, evaluating, and disseminating a cost-effective model for educating highly skilled electronics and information technology specialists in sparsely populated, rural communities. Building on a successful partnership that has spanned the last three years, as well as NECC's involvement in the Midwest Center for Information Technology (MCIT), an ATE regional IT center of excellence, the TANN Academy is creating a replicable model technician education program that includes the following features: articulated, seamless education from high school to community college to four-year college; joint delivery of technical courses in the community college setting for dual enrollment; coordinated student outreach and recruitment focusing especially on underrepresented populations (females and students of color); expanded work-based learning opportunities; and, shared teacher/faculty development opportunities. Through NECC's active participation in the MCIT, the project deliverables have immediate access to an established regional distribution system. Dissemination of the model also occurs through presentations at state, regional, and national workshops and conferences, the development and implementation of a project website, and through publication in refereed journals.

东北社区学院（NECC）与五个农村社区学区，韦恩州立学院，内布拉斯加大学奥马哈分校信息科学与技术学院及其当地商业社区合作，开发和实施东北内布拉斯加州技术学院（TANN学院）。TANN学院正在努力通过开发，实施，评估和传播一种具有成本效益的模式来增加电子和信息技术技术人员的数量和准备，以教育人口稀少的农村社区的高技能电子和信息技术专家。建立在一个成功的合作伙伴关系，已经跨越了过去三年，以及NECC的参与中西部信息技术中心（MCIT），卓越的ATE区域IT中心，TANN学院正在创建一个可复制的模型技术人员教育计划，包括以下功能：从高中到社区大学到四年制大学的衔接，无缝教育;在社区学院环境中联合提供技术课程，以实现双招生;协调学生外联和招聘工作，特别关注代表性不足的人群（女性和有色人种学生）;扩大以工作为基础的学习机会;分享教师/教职员工发展机会。通过NECC积极参与MCIT，项目交付物可以立即进入既定的区域分销系统。该模型的传播还通过在州、地区和国家讲习班和会议上的介绍、项目网站的开发和实施以及在经评审的期刊上发表来进行。
