The Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) serves the entire state by providing the education and training that impacts our daily lives. From police officers and firefighters to nurses and dental hygienists to welders and machinists to electricians and plumbers, many of the hands-on workers we come into contact each day are educated in our technical colleges.
It is hard to find individuals who have never taken a course at one of the 16 technical colleges. Each year, 380,000 individuals take advantage of the wide variety of educational opportunities available. The average age of our students is 29. Roughly a quarter of these students are recent high school graduates, which demonstrates the wide range of ages you will find at any of our college.
