NWTC - Northeast Wisconsin Technical College
We are a two-year technical college, serving Northeast Wisconsin by providing education, training, and life-long learning opportunities for individuals and businesses leading to the development of a skilled workforce. Our customers stimulate the economic vitality of our district as a result of the application of skills and knowledge acquired through the completion of certificates, degrees, diplomas, and courses.

We will provide all learners the highest quality, life-long learning opportunities that are what you want, when you want, where you want and how you want them so you may continue learning and successfully engage in a career that enhances your quality of life in a global community.

Remember it's not how much you spend on your education that matters most. It's what you get from your investment. At NWTC, our graduates have a high employability rate. It's just one more reason to choose NWTC. We offer 100+ degrees, diplomas and apprenticeships, 80+ certificates and we have transfer agreements with 28 colleges and universities.

In Florence County, NWTC offers a variety of courses and enrichment classes in both Florence and Aurora for learners of all ages. NWTC has parternered with Florence High School to provide dual credit classes in a number of subject matters enabling students to graduate from high school with college credits.

NWTC also operates the Woodland Kitchen & Business Incubator in Aurora. This shared-use kitchen is a certified, fully-equipped commercial kitchen for use by growers, food processors, caterers, restaurants, chefs, special event food vendors, bakers, groups, organizations, and more. Users of the kitchen pay an hourly fee, a fraction of the cost of renovating or converting a home kitchen or building a commercial kitchen. This facility supports the business aspects of food processing such as: writing a business plan, labeling, packaging, marketing and distribution. Woodland Kitchen information can be found here.
