Overview

Just as companies must stay competitive, WATC is continually changing to meet customers' needs. We’re adding new programs and online courses to meet ever-changing student and employer requirements.

WATC was recently accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association. This accreditation benefits students who choose to move into bachelor programs at four-year colleges or universities.

WATC is working closely with business and industry, as well as Sedgwick County, to develop training programs, facilities and students to meet the needs of the community.

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. New business, health care and information technology programs are also planned for our other campuses.

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.
