WTCS statement on reducing property tax levies
The Wisconsin Technical College System is the state’s largest provider of higher education and workforce training, serving nearly 300,000 students annually across urban and rural communities. In the most recent budget cycle, WTCS requested a general aid increase that reflected the actual cost of sustaining the programs and training capacity required by local employers and communities. That request was underfunded by $36 million.
Three WTCS colleges named Aspen Prize semifinalists

Student Support
Wisconsin's technical colleges are unlike most colleges or universities because students are not turned away based on past academic performance.
Our faculty and staff are committed to each student's success and our colleges provide many services to help students succeed. If math or language skills are lacking, for example, the technical college will support the student's growth in that area before enrolling them in a more difficult course.
Our colleges are here to help you every step of the way... from enrollment through finding a career you love.
Services and Accommodations
If you need assistance as you travel through your educational journey, you can always reach out to the student services department at the college, or talk directly with your instructor.
Basic refresher courses may be available, or other services and assistance will be provided. Whether you might benefit from tutoring, writing assistance, computer equipment, note taking, studying skills, or other accommodations, our colleges will help you meet your goals.
