Wisconsin Technical College System seeks input on future prioritiesMADISON – The Wisconsin Technical College System Board is inviting the public to share perspectives on the System’s priorities for the next four years with a brief, web-based survey. The Board will consider results of the survey as they identify priorities for the next four years. The Wisconsin Technical College System is committed to remaining Wisconsin’s premier provider of skilled, job-ready graduates who boost economic vitality, their own and that of employers and communities across the state. "Wisconsin’s technical colleges have been an integral component of the state’s economic success for a century by responding to the needs of students and employers," stated System President Dan Clancy. "As we consider the current economic climate, the Board is interested in hearing from the public how the technical college system can help secure Wisconsin’s economic future." The survey will be available on-line through the end of October. WTCS staff will present preliminary feedback to the Board at its November meeting in Green Bay. The Wisconsin Technical College System has 16 technical college districts throughout the state, which offer more than 300 programs awarding two-year associate degrees, one- and two-year technical diplomas and short-term technical diplomas. In addition, the System is the major provider of customized training and technical assistance to Wisconsin’s business and industry community. More than half of all adults in Wisconsin have accessed the technical colleges for education and training. Find more about educational programs at www.witechcolleges.org. |
