A PARENTS’ FACT SHEET ON TECHNICAL COLLEGES Today’s careers are dependent on the ability to work in the here and now, but many colleges aren’t keeping pace with the workplace. Graduates need relevant skills that apply to the jobs employers hire for today. Wisconsin’s technical colleges partner with employers to keep students’ skills tuned up. That’s why technical college graduates land jobs very quickly and earn strong starting salaries that have good growth potential. Technical college classrooms are set up to optimize learning, develop skills and encourage student success. With smaller classrooms and the newest technology, the workplace-like environment and hands-on approach help students gain both the skills and the confidence to excel at their work. Expert instructors with industry connections and modern experience turn today’s students into tomorrow’s experts.
