WTCS Board

Message from Board President S. Mark Tyler . . .

Welcome to the Wisconsin Technical College System. The WTCS is an incredible system of people, places, and technology that are in the business of futuremaking. Being a Futuremaker is challenging, rewarding, and requires the collaboration of many stakeholders to be successful. The WTCS has been honing our skills as Futuremaker for over one hundred years. Let me describe how we do it.

At the core of our process are relationships with employers in business, health care, protective services, and nearly every other sector of our economy. These relationships with employers guide our System colleges to develop relevant programs that address current and evolving careers. These relationships also allow our colleges to integrate the latest technology and methods into program curriculum so graduates enter their careers fully qualified to contribute at a high level.

To further enhance students' experiences and opportunities, WTCS embraces deep relationships with K-12 schools and with Wisconsin’s public and private colleges and universities. These partnerships provide strong educational foundations and leverage the WTCS experience into future career advancement.

This is all accomplished with Wisconsin’s future and the future of our students and graduates in mind. WTCS graduate outcomes speak for themselves with 90 percent finding employment in their career path within six months of graduation. Many students experience immediate employment opportunities.

From the students’ perspective, it is all about relationships too. Our WTCS colleges have friendly and helpful student services areas that can help support and guide you through your WTCS experience.

Over the next decades, over 50 percent of careers will require education and skills not available in high school or offered at most four year universities. The Wisconsin Technical College System is here to serve you, delivering the knowledge and applied experience you need for success. Your future starts now!
