The Wisconsin Technical College System is focused on a number of priorities to advance its Mission and Vision, creating a culture of collaboration in its work with internal and external partners.
2027-29 Budget Request
Wisconsin's technical colleges are Wisconsin's most trusted skilled workforce engine, delivering the education, training and employer partnerships that keep communities and economies strong across the state. Through locally governed, employer-driven colleges, we connect students to opportunity, help businesses find the talent they need and ensure Wisconsin remains competitive in a rapidly changing economy.
WTCS Ambassador Program
The WTCS Ambassador program annually recognizes one student from each tech college and engages those students in a leadership development program.
Career Pathways
Organizing technical college offerings and services within guided Career Pathways leads to learner success and creates a reliable talent pipeline for Wisconsin employers.
Perkins State Plan
The Wisconsin Technical College System partners with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) to expand access to high-quality career and technical education across the state.
WTCS Student Success Center
Through the Student Success Center, Wisconsin’s technical colleges learn from – and build on – outstanding work at peer institutions, improving student outcomes.
Outcomes-Based Funding
State law requires WTCS to maintain a distinct formula for allocating a portion of general state aid to technical colleges, linking outcomes to investments.
