Your Single Source for Workforce Training

We do the stuff that sticks.

When we began designing our training programs at WATC, we didn’t assume what the market needed, we asked our clients “What is the number one problem we can solve for you — the one that will truly satisfy your training needs?”

We heard the answer repeated time and time again — from our small business retailers to our big business manufacturers — “We need training that sticks.”

WATC is dedicated to higher and better use of knowledge, so this directive reinforced our very purpose as community servants. It made sense, so this is what we are committed to provide — the stuff that sticks.

It sounds simple, but we’re okay with that. We want to keep it simple for our clients — businesses like yours. You have plenty of tasks, duties and other obligations in the day-to-day operations of your business. We want you to have the freedom to focus on business. We’ll commit to focus on the training you need.

How does it work?

We have an initial conversation with you to learn about your needs — initial conversations are always on us. We won’t assume, we will assess. We’ll ask the questions, work with you unobtrusively and do the groundwork to develop the best solutions for your training needs. We’ll develop the training that nails the challenges. We’ll deliver an engaging, highly interactive program and follow up providing ongoing tools to “make it stick.”

To find out how your business can benefit from training that pays dividends long after the laptops and flipcharts are packed away, contact us today.

The Future WATC

Plans are being laid now for the programs and infrastructure needed for the new campus. The new campus will feel more like a business center than an educational institution. Workers for the county's five aircraft manufacturers and hundreds of businesses that support them will receive training at this new campus. A few of the programs selected for the new campus are various kinds of aviation training, manufacturing, welding and robotics.

This facility will allow for the hands-on training students and employers expect.

WATC is the managing partner of Sedgwick County’s National Center for Aviation Training at Jabara Airport: a world-class facility dedicated to educating students to work in high-paying aviation and manufacturing jobs. The first phase of construction will be complete this summer and the second phase should be finished and ready for students by fall 2010.
