What We Do

The Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) provides the state with the critical, essential technical occupations we all rely on. We respond to the needs of our communities by helping one person at a time and by bringing people and jobs together.

The systems’ 16 colleges equip graduates with real world, hands-on experience they apply to specific occupations that provide us all with security and quality of life. The Technical Colleges stimulate local economic development by providing a well-educated workforce based solely on the occupational needs of local business and industry. From biotech to electronics to health care to public safety – great paying jobs await technical college grads who are in demand!

The colleges offer more than 300 programs:

• Two-year associate degrees.
• One- and two-year technical diplomas.
• Short term technical certificates (nine months or less).
• Customized training and technical assistance (direct to business and industry)
