Two-thirds of the fastest-growing careers will require a technical education. And Waukesha County Technical College is focused on preparing learners for in-demand jobs within the regional and global economy.

The College’s five schools – Applied Technologies, Business, Health and Protective & Human Services, Academic Foundations/General Studies– offer more than 90 technical diploma and associate degree programs, along with 75-plus short-term certificates. All deliver comprehensive training that arms students with skills that can immediately be applied to the workforce.

A WCTC education features applied learning, cutting-edge technology, individualized attention, instructors with real-world experience, employer connections and transfer options.
