The mission of the NWTC Alumni Association is to support NWTC students, staff, and Foundation by enhancing the image and visibility of the College and maintaining student scholarships.

By becoming a member of the NWTC Alumni Association, you can help Northeast Wisconsin Technical College students get the education and training that they need to advance their careers, enhance their quality of life, and develop their roles as vital community members.

The Alumni Association promotes and provides scholarships to individuals who need financial support to fulfill their educational goals. Those individuals, in turn, will play an important part in the economy after completing their programs at NWTC. Within six months of graduation, 95.5% of NWTC graduates have jobs.

Many instructors are glad to have alumni speak to classes about current industry trends and the workplace. If this interests you, please send a note to the NWTC Public Relations department and we will forward it to an appropriate instructor. Please include your name, graduation year, program in which you have a degree and a summary of what you would like to share with current students.

Thinking about changing jobs? Alumni can use NWTC's Employment Services to find employers looking for experienced, skilled staff. It's easy - notices of job openings in your field will be mailed to your home!
