<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Area</strong> Tech<br />

<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Area</strong> <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> operates in full accordance with<br />
the State of South Dakota and the regulations of the State Board<br />
of Education.<br />
Value Statements<br />
• We believe in integrity, honesty and a caring attitude.<br />
• We believe all people are valuable and should be treated with<br />
respect.<br />
• We believe in promoting a positive image for technical<br />
education.<br />
• We believe all employees contribute to the success of the<br />
institution.<br />
• We believe that excellence and quality performance promotes<br />
success.<br />
Mission Statement<br />
<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Area</strong> <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> offers superior, comprehensive<br />
technical education, creating a foundation for success in an<br />
ever-changing world.<br />
Vision Statement<br />
<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Area</strong> <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> will be the leader in technical<br />
education, working in partnership with business and industry<br />
and all levels of education. <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Area</strong> Tech staff will integrate the<br />
latest technology and methods of delivering quality education to<br />
meet emerging global workforce demands. <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Area</strong> Tech will<br />
continue to develop marketing strategies to promote technical<br />
education and will maintain excellence in all programs.<br />
Admission Policy<br />
It is the policy of <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Area</strong> <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> that every person<br />
be given equal opportunity to be admitted into the program<br />
of his or her choice regardless of sex, race, color, national<br />
origin, creed, religion, marital status, status in regard to public<br />
assistance, age, ancestry, or disability.<br />
<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Area</strong> Tech normally accepts students for full-time enrollment<br />
who have a high school diploma or GED. Applicants lacking this<br />
background must be prepared to demonstrate ability to benefit<br />
by passing an approved administered examination. A student is<br />
considered to have the ability to benefit from the education or<br />
training offered upon satisfactory completion of 6 credit hours<br />
(or the equivalent of course work) that are applicable toward a<br />
degree or certificate offered by the institution. Students admitted<br />
on the basis of this examination must pass the requirements for<br />
the GED by midpoint of their program.<br />
In order to identify the students most capable of program<br />
completion and subsequent career success, LATI will requir e<br />
either an ACT test score, TABE test score, COMPASS test<br />
score, or KAPLAN test score for all students desiring admission<br />
(some programs require additional testing). LATI strongly<br />
encourages all high school students considering technical<br />
education to take the ACT test when it is offered in their<br />
area. If that is not possible, applicants will need to schedule<br />
the COMPASS, TABE, or KAPLAN test at <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Area</strong> Tech.<br />
Acceptance will be based on test scores.<br />
All programs accept qualified students who meet the entrance<br />
standards until program capacity is met. After that, qualified<br />
accepted applicants are placed on a wait list. The Practical<br />
Nursing program’s acceptance procedure does include a cutoff<br />
date as demand for the program exceeds capacity. Applicants are<br />
ranked by The Acceptance Committee according to acceptance<br />
test scores. Previous post-secondary GPA and work history may<br />
also be a factor.<br />
Admission Procedures<br />
<strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Area</strong> <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> requires all in ter est ed stu dents to:<br />
1. Complete an application form. <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Area</strong> Tech<br />
also requires a $20.00 non-refundable application<br />

their se nior year, but ap pli ca tions from jun iors will not be<br />
pro cessed.<br />
3. All applicants need to submit ACT scores or sched ule an<br />
appointment at LATI to take an entrance test. These test<br />
scores, along with the transcripts, will assist the admission<br />
officer in determining if the applicant has the necessary<br />
ability to succeed in their program of choice. Some LATI<br />
programs require additional testing and an interview.<br />
4. Once you are accepted, you will be required to pay a$150<br />
dollar holding fee. <strong>Of</strong> that, $25 is non-refundable, and<br />

APPLYING FOR Financial Aid<br />
As soon as you (and your parents if dependent) have completed<br />
your tax return(s) for the most recent year, a Free Application<br />
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) should be completed. We<br />
encourage you to apply for financial aid online at fafsa.gov.<br />
The FAFSA will determine eligibility for the Pell Grant,<br />
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Work <strong>Study</strong>,<br />
Perkins Loan, Stafford Loan and other need-based financial<br />
aid.<br />
Steps to Follow:<br />
1. Complete the FAFSA on or after January 1.<br />
2. Approximately three weeks after mailing the FAFSA,<br />
or about 5 days after submitting it electronically, the<br />
Central Processing System (CPS) will send you a Student<br />
Aid Report (SAR).<br />
3. LATI automatically receives your FAFSA information if<br />
you listed us on your FAFSA.<br />
4. Once we start reviewing and awarding files, you will be<br />
sent an award letter indicating the amount and types of<br />
financial assistance you can expect to receive. (BE SURE<br />
TO SIGN AND RETURN ONE COPY.)<br />
The Financial Aid <strong>Of</strong>fice at <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Area</strong> <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> has the capability<br />
to process corrections to FAFSA data electronically.<br />
PRIORITY DATE!<br />
Since funds under the Perkins, Work <strong>Study</strong>, and SEOG<br />
programs are limited, it will be necessary to apply by April 1<br />
using the FAFSA. Any individual who submits FAFSA after<br />
April 1 cannot expect to be awarded aid on the basis of<br />
demonstrated financial need. However, this does not affect<br />
eligibility for a Pell Grant or the Stafford Loan.<br />
Financial Aid RESOURCES<br />
Federal Pell Grant: A federal grant program that provides funds<br />
to students who demonstrate financial need.<br />
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant<br />
(SEOG): A federal program that provides funds to students<br />
with exceptional financial need who are also eligible for a<br />
Pell Grant.<br />
Federal Work <strong>Study</strong>: A federal program for students who<br />
demonstrate financial need. Students may work part-time on or<br />
off campus at approved work sites and are given the opportunity<br />

funded with eligibility determined by the Financial Aid<br />
<strong>Of</strong>fice. You must have exceptional need to qualify for this<br />

drop below half time. Additional information on terms and<br />
conditions of this loan can be obtained from the Financial Aid<br />
<strong>Of</strong>fice.<br />
Federal Direct Stafford Loan: A low interest loan through the<br />
federal government that allows dependent students to borrow<br />
up to $3,500 for their first year and $4,500 for their second<br />
year. This loan is either subsidized or unsubsidized. If the loan<br />
is subsidized, the interest does not accrue until six months after<br />
you graduate or drop below half time. If the loan is unsubsidized,<br />
interest is charged from the time the loan is disbursed.<br />

year in unsubsidized Stafford loans. Dependent students may be<br />

money is borrowed from the federal government. Loan amounts<br />
may not exceed educational costs minus other financial aid.<br />

General Education<br />
An integral part of LATI’s mission statement is the comprehensive,<br />
foundational nature of the technical education we provide.<br />
General education classes are critical to LATI’s four core values,<br />
known as ROCK: Responsibility, Outcomes, Communications,<br />
and Knowledge. General Education provides the broad<br />
knowledge and skills that enable LATI graduates to work<br />
effectively throughout society.<br />
GENERAL EDUCATION PURPOSE STATEMENT<br />
The purpose of LATI General Education is to provide the<br />
building blocks for success. Through core general education<br />
courses, students gain skills and knowledge for effectiveness in<br />
communications, computer, math and the sciences.<br />
STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES<br />

Instructors<br />
All instructors have many years of successful practical experience<br />
in the job areas they teach, as well as having professional<br />

Satisfactory Progress<br />
Students are expected to meet standards of progress as<br />
determined by general school policy and department policy.<br />
Each department sets its minimum standards based on industry<br />
requirements. Students with academic deficiencies will be<br />
subject to loss of financial aid and may be terminated from<br />
school. Academic deficiencies may also affect eligibility for other<br />
types of financial assistance. The Department of Education<br />
requires schools to define and monitor satisfactory academic<br />
progress for financial aid recipients.<br />
Attendance<br />
All departments have attendance requirements. Attendance is<br />
important to both the mastery of course skills and development<br />
of proper work habits.<br />
PLACEMENT AND PRIOR LEARNING<br />
Advanced Placement (AP) is available in Keyboarding classes.<br />
The programs which instruct keyboarding will do a placement<br />
test with students and register the student for the most<br />

will be granted credit for any keyboarding course he/she tests<br />
out of at no charge.<br />

credit may be granted. This decision is made by the program<br />
department head. Verification may be requested.<br />

Success Starts Here<br />
As a leading industry in South Dakota, agriculture<br />
provides premium career opportunities. In particualar,<br />
the area of commodity merchandising - which unites<br />
buyers and sellers of grain, manages investments, and<br />
offers financial advice - is gleaming with new hire<br />

and globalization, there is an ever increasing demand<br />
for field experts who can build and manage profitable<br />
local grain business.<br />
As a agriculture commodity merchandiser, you’ll set<br />
prices and do purchasing for grain elevators on a local<br />
level. If you think you would enjoy working with a<br />
diverse range of people, making frequent decisions,<br />
and offering financial guidance, then look no further<br />
for a great career!<br />

Know the Future of Farming<br />
Geospatial technology has revolutionized the operation<br />
of today’s successful farms. GPS and GIS<br />
now allow farmers to optimize input, reduce<br />
waste, and generate the maximum possible yields.<br />
Designed for use in all types of agricultural systems,<br />
precision technology has improved the production of<br />
everything from row crops to dairies. Now you can<br />
learn to use this valuable technology to it’s full effect!<br />
What can I expect?<br />
As a student in this option, you’ll get extreme<br />
hands-on experience with GPS and remote<br />
sensing for data collection, GIS for data processing and<br />
analysis, variable rate technology, and more! Expect to<br />
master the latest technical, operational and software<br />
applications for John Deere, Case IH, Raven,<br />
Trimble, and Ag Chem precision systems.<br />
You’ll get lots of active, “real time” learning<br />
as you gather and use data from the LATI<br />
demonstration farm and area co-op farms. You will also<br />
have two internship opportunities with co-ops, private<br />
businesses, producers and/or your home farm<br />
operation.<br />
Careers<br />
This option will prepare you for a career in the<br />
precision agriculture industry, including: precision<br />
farming, geographic information system (GIS)<br />
analysis, and equipment manufacturer technician<br />
and sales. Specific job responsibilities might include:<br />
GPS mapping; GIS database management, precision<br />
agriculture equipment installation, maintenance<br />
and repair, precision agriculture consulting and<br />
applications in variable rate application technology.<br />
As more and more farms nationwide adopt the use of<br />
precision ag systems, more technicians will be needed<br />
to operate, troubleshoot and repair the equipment!<br />
Putting it to Use<br />

Think About It<br />
All the software we now use wouldn’t exist<br />
without the work of programming specialists. A<br />
programmer “writes” programs - or converts the<br />
design of a software program into a logical series of<br />
instructions that computers can follow. Recently,<br />
programming specialists have also been working in<br />
software design and identifying user need.<br />
What can I expect?<br />
As a student in our 18 month option, you will learn<br />
the latest techniques in software design, creation and<br />
maintenance. Expect to become fluent in the most<br />
current programming languages, and get familiar with<br />
databases like IBM DB2, MS Access, MSQL2000<br />
and Oracle. We are also the only school in South<br />
Dakota that teaches COBOL.<br />
We offer our students the use of a mobile mac lab,<br />
and teach mobile app development for iPad, iPhone,<br />
iPod, Android, and Windows 7 mobile devices.<br />
Careers<br />
According to the US Bureau of Labor, employment<br />
of comupter programmers is expected to grow much<br />
faster than average for occupations during the years<br />
2008-2018.<br />
This option has a high placement rate, and<br />
graduates are reporting great job satisfaction and<br />
excellent wages.<br />

America Runs On Diesel!<br />
Diesel powered equipment is essential to this country’s<br />
operation and economy. Diesel equipment prepares<br />
the soil, fertilizes, plants, and harvests on the typical<br />
American farm. Diesel trucks, trains and ships carry<br />
grain and livestock to market, and keep the constant<br />
flow of manufactured products en route to American<br />
stores. Everywhere, powerful Diesel machines build<br />
and repair roads, dams and levees, and prepare the<br />
ground for building projects.<br />
There is a constant demand for trained Diesel<br />
Technicians to repair and maintain all this equipment.<br />
LATI’s Diesel program has the excellent reputation,<br />
cutting-edge facilities, and strong industry connections<br />
that will put you where you need to be in the world<br />
of diesel.<br />
What can I expect?<br />
As a first-year Diesel Technology student at LATI,<br />
you will complete hands-on training in our brand<br />
new diesel facility. Our ASE certified instructors<br />
will guide you through: small engines, truck/<br />
industrial gas engines, power trains, hydraulics,<br />
electrical systems, welding, and Heating, Ventilation<br />
and Air Conditioning (HVAC).<br />

The Power to Turn Ideas into Reality<br />
Drafting technicians work with geospatial surveying<br />
equipment, blueprints, and computer aided drafting<br />
and design (CADD) software to turn the ideas of engineers<br />
and scientists into the drawings and models<br />
that are used in construction and manufacturing.<br />
With the changes in technology, the world of drafting<br />
is literally being transformed. Civil drafters now use<br />
advanced GIS equipment to complete topographic,<br />
property, and construction surveys. Mechanical drafters<br />
now use CADD software to create drawings and<br />
computer simulations - working in areas formerly reserved<br />
for engineers.<br />
At LATI, you can choose between these two highdemand<br />
and rewarding options: Civil and Civil/Mechanical<br />
Drafting.<br />
Careers<br />
As a graduate of this program, you could be employed<br />
in the man u fac tur ing, transportation, or construction<br />
industry. You might also work for a state or federal<br />
agency, a public util i ty office, the high way department<br />
or mil i tary. We typically have more employer<br />
requests for our graduates than we have graduates!<br />
There are currently great opportunities for drafting<br />
technicians - start your journey now!<br />

(CADD). You will learn to decipher blueprints,<br />
and create your own preliminary construction plans.<br />
You will study the strengths, costs, and quantities of<br />
construction materials (concrete, asphalt, aggregate,<br />
soils), and the ins-and-outs of surveying law. (Note:<br />
Civil is a great option if you like being outdoors!)<br />
As a student of Civil/Mechanical Drafting, you’ll<br />
get training in both civil and mechanical drafting,<br />
doubling your experience, flexibility, and job choices!<br />

No Ordinary Job<br />
In crisis situations, people’s lives often depend on the<br />
quick and highly skilled reaction of emergency medical<br />
technicians (EMTs), paramedics and firefighters.<br />
Emergency personnel must be emotionally steady,<br />
compassionate, and physically strong.<br />
You never know what the day will bring in this field!<br />
As a med/fire rescue technician, your responsibilities<br />
might include: controlling and extinguishing fires,<br />
assisting with lifesaving medical treatment on the<br />
scene and during transportation to hospitals, assisting<br />
in disaster recovery, providing aircraft fire rescue and<br />
playing an important role in the control and clean-up<br />
of spills and hazardous chemical incidents.<br />
What can I expect?<br />
Our 20 month program includes EMT certification,<br />
Firefighter I & II, and versatile training in physiology,<br />
pharmacology, anatomy, hazardous material safety,<br />
trauma assessment, medical assessment and treatment,<br />
and more! Have you always wanted a career<br />
that gives you the chance to make a difference? Let us<br />
help you start your journey!<br />
Careers<br />
According to the United States Bureau of Labor<br />
Statistics, the regional and national trends show a<br />
significant increase over the next ten years in career<br />
opportunities in the med/fire rescue profession.<br />
Although many small med/fire rescue departments<br />
are volunteer positions, larger areas and cities employ<br />
hundreds to thousands of technicians. More recently,<br />
these departments significantly expanded the duties<br />
performed by the med/fire rescue personnel resulting<br />
in an increase of hiring qualified employees.<br />

This Could be You<br />
Medical laboratory is a rewarding, challenging field<br />
that is absolutely vital to the world of healthcare. Did<br />
you know - over 70% of objective clinical data that<br />
physicians use to determine treatment comes from<br />
tests that medical laboratory technicians (MLTs)<br />
perform on patient samples?<br />
An MLT might also type and crossmatch blood for<br />
transfusion, perform clincial analysis and cell counts<br />
on blood, analyze urine, bacteria and blood cells under<br />
the microscope, and measure chemicals in blood and<br />
body fluids.<br />
Although they spend little time with patients, MLTs<br />
often interact with physicians, nurses, pharmacists,<br />
and other health professionals to explain test results<br />
and answer specific questions.<br />
medical labs, we also require you to complete a full<br />
semester of clinical training at one of the following<br />
approved sites:<br />
Prairie <strong>Lake</strong>s Healthcare System, Wa ter town, SD<br />
Avera McKennan Hospital, Sioux Falls, SD<br />

What is Occupational Therapy?<br />
Occupational Therapy promotes health by enabling<br />
people to fully engage in the activities of life. Under<br />
the supervision of an Occupational Therapist,<br />
Occupational Therapy Assistants (OTAs) help people<br />
overcome physical, mental, and emotional barriers to<br />
meaningful, daily occupations. When helping their<br />
clients, OTAs commonly use what is individually<br />
familiar and enjoyable to teach injury prevention,<br />
improve functional ability, and adapt equipment/<br />
environment to improve quality of life.<br />
Our fully accredited 20 month program will prepare<br />
you to work in a variety of community and health<br />
care settings.<br />
What can I expect?<br />
As a student of this program, you will recieve the best<br />
in current OTA training, including lecture, lab experience,<br />
discussion, demonstration and off-site fieldwork<br />
experiences. Satisfactory completion of this<br />
program requires that the individual maintain a 2.0<br />
GPA and complete all course work with a grade of C<br />
or higher (one grade of D will be allowed in a general<br />
or related course).<br />
Graduates of this accredited program are eligible to<br />
take the national certification examination for the<br />
occupational therapy assistant administered by the<br />
National Board of Certification of Occupational<br />
Therapy (NBCOT). After successful completion of<br />
the exam, the graduate will be a Certified Occupational<br />
Therapy Assistant (COTA). Most states also require<br />
licensure to practice. Typically licensure is based on the<br />
results of the NBCOT Certification Exam.<br />
Careers<br />
According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics-<br />
“Employment of occupational therapy assistants<br />
and aides is expected to grow by 30 percent from<br />
2008 to 2018, much faster than the average for all<br />
occupations.”<br />
Graduates of this program could work for home<br />
health care providers, health practitioner offices,<br />
nursing care, general medical or surgical hospitals,<br />
elementary/secondary schools, and more!<br />

Purposeful American Career<br />
Virtually everything manufactured in the U.S. today<br />
- in the automotive, space, medical, green, or any<br />
other industry - can be traced back to the work of a<br />
machinist.<br />
Trained in the working properties of metals,<br />
machinists use manual and cutting-edge computercontrolled<br />
methods to make precision-machined<br />
products. There is a constant and unmet need for<br />
these “surgeons of steel” in American manufacturing<br />
- as they supply highly respected skills and expertise<br />
to an area’s business and infrastructure.<br />
Our Precision Machining graduates are reporting<br />
high wages, great advancement opportunities, and<br />
job satisfaction. Machinists make America! Let us<br />
help you start your journey towards a life-changing<br />
career!<br />
What can I expect?<br />
As a student of our 18 month program, you will<br />
recieve the maximum experience-edge, including<br />
practical, project based learning in our 11,000 square<br />
foot precision machining lab.<br />
During your first year, you’ll be introduced to<br />
blueprint reading, machine trades math, precision<br />
measuring, cutting tool geometry, manual milling,<br />
and manual turning.<br />
During your second year, you’ll expand your<br />
knowledge of Computer Numerical Control (CNC)<br />
machines. To keep you on top of the hiring game, as<br />
well as qualify you for better pay and a specialized job<br />
title, you will learn to program and monitor the work<br />
of a variety of CNC machines. You will also learn how<br />
to produce fixtures, punches, dies, and molds.<br />
Opportunities<br />
Graduates of this program will find employment as<br />
machine set-up personnel, maintenance technicians,<br />
general machinists, apprentice tool-and-die-makers,<br />
apprentice moldmakers and CNC operators/<br />
programmers.<br />
Machinists with the right training have the opportunity<br />
to earn great wages. The following data is from the<br />
National Tooling and Machining Association:<br />
“On national average, a machinist with 6 to 12<br />
months of training can start at $12 to $14 per hour,<br />
and with 10 hours/week overtime can make $34K to<br />
$40K per year, with a peak of about $20 per hour,<br />
$57K a year. 12 to 14 months of extra training could<br />
produce a CNC Machinist earning $16 to $18 per<br />
hour, making $46K to $51K, with a peak of about<br />
$28 per hour, or $77K per year. Still another 12 to<br />
14 months of training could produce a Tool & Die<br />
maker earning $20 per hour, making $57K peaking at<br />
$30+ per hour, and making over $86K per year.”<br />

CERTIFICATIONS<br />
This class consists of three specialized training sessions<br />
taught by outside instructors. The three areas provide<br />
student certification in Adnvanced Cardiac Life Support<br />
(ACLS), Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS), and<br />
Pediatric Education for Pre-Hospital Professionals (PEPP).<br />
This provides excellent benchmarks to gauge mastery of<br />
knowledge and skills, but also produces credibility for<br />
students and their education through examination and<br />
certification from skilled professionals outside the MFR<br />
staff. 1 1/2 credits<br />
MED/FIRE RESCUE<br />
This class will focus on ambulance operations, incident<br />
management, crime scene awareness and rural EMS. Since<br />
the world around us continues to become increasingly<br />
complex, this class will also address issues related to rescue<br />
awareness and operations, hazardous materials incidents, as<br />
well as responding to terrorist incidents. 1 credit<br />
FIREFIGHTER I<br />
Through classroom and hands-on experience, students<br />
will learn the essentials of firefighting. Beginning with an<br />

with the fire service, students will progress into developing<br />
the knowledge and skills associated with behavior, safety<br />
and personal protective equipment. From there, the next<br />
step will involve water supplies and equipment, building<br />
construction, ladders and ropes. At this point, students will<br />
move into rescue operations, forcible entry and ventilation<br />
techniques, fire suppression, firefighter survival, as well as<br />
fire prevention, education and incident planning. Another<br />
area and perhaps the most important subject addressed in<br />
this class, as well as every other class in the program, is the<br />
need for students physical and mental health. 5 credits<br />
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AWARENESS<br />
AND COMPLIANCE<br />
