“These students spent the day
showcasing their talent and
their programs or projects,” said
Wisconsin Technical College System
President Dr. Morna Foy. “They
have set out on a path and most
will leave with a valuable credential
and a career in their chosen field,
many with little or no debt.”
“Each year, well over 80% of
technical college graduates stay
to live and work in Wisconsin in
careers directly related to the
training they completed. “A technical
college degree is a launchpad
for our students to start a great
career and have an immediate
economic impact,” said Foy.
