Wisconsin Technical College System

Mission The Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) provides comprehensive education opportunities that position students and employers to thrive in the face of rapid changes in the workplace, creating economic vitality for individuals and communities throughout the state. Vision We empower technical colleges to recognize and meet the unique needs of individuals and employers in driving economic prosperity for all and promoting lifelong learning as a model for the advancement of diverse communities throughout Wisconsin. Values Innovation We believe that for technical colleges to adapt and thrive, we must listen to our stakeholders and continuously reimagine our processes, structures, and offerings. Collaboration We actively cultivate a “culture of collaboration” to advance our work – within our office and with our colleges, students, employers and a wide variety of local, state and national partners. Inspiration To successfully convey that lifelong learning is essential, we must inspire students and employers to recognize its rewards, and how technical colleges support it in every phase. Transformation We believe that if we adhere to our values in fulfilling our mission and vision, we will transform education, the lives of individuals and the economic success of communities in Wisconsin. Diversity We believe in individual and collective strength through diversity, and we commit to respecting and celebrating the traditions, heritage, and experiences of all. Equity Our work is not complete until every person – attending or employed by a technical college, or by the System – has the opportunity, resources and support to be successful. Inclusion We envision, create, and foster access to and success in work and learning spaces where every person has a sense of safety, belonging, value and purpose.
