Why WCTC?
Personal Attention
Many students feel lost in large lecture halls and learn better in small classes with individualized attention. WCTC’s average class size is approximately 16 students, so your instructors will get to know you well and help you achieve your personal goals.
Dedicated Instructors with Relevant Work Experience
All of WCTC’s instructors are qualified to teach in their area of instruction, with industry-recognized degrees and occupational experience in their area of instruction.
State-of-the-Art Facilities
Our students learn on the most advanced technology available in their fields, from world-class IT networking labs to our state-of-the-art Robotics and Human Patient Simulation labs.
Hands-on Learning
Rather than simply memorizing theory, you’ll apply what you learn through hands-on projects. This applied approach helps reinforce concepts and keep you interested and motivated.
Credit for Prior Learning and Transfer Opportunities
Incoming students can earn significant credit through their school, work and life experiences. WCTC also offers numerous transfer agreements with four-year colleges and universities for those interested in continuing their education.
Earn and Learn through Internships
WCTC students complete internships at more than 100 different companies, allowing them to gain relevant work experience while earning college credit. More than 60 percent are hired by their employer upon completing their internship.
Respect of Area Employers
Employers consistently hire WCTC grads because they know they have the skills to contribute immediately. More than 1,400 business leaders serve on WCTC advisory committees, ensuring that what we teach in the classroom reflects the latest industry trends.
"I was a mom and I had to work. But then I found out that WCTC offered a night program so I didn’t have to sacrifice work to also pursue my dreams at the same time... I truly can’t believe that I’m doing what I love every day, and I’m successful in it."
