At Northcentral Technical College (NTC),
we’re changing the future every moment.
When you consider that the majority of
new jobs in Wisconsin in the next decade
will require the skills earned through
technical college programs, I am proud
of the fact that NTC graduates stimulate
local economic development by putting
their premier education to work right
here in north central Wisconsin.
A bright future for our graduates is
evident in the 2014 NTC graduate
employment report. Even in difficult
economic times, our graduates are
finding success and achieving their
potential. In fact, 93% of the Class of
2014 were employed, and 79% of those
students were employed in their field.
The percentage of those employed
has risen 7% in the past year, and the
percentage of those working in their field
has risen 5% in the same timeframe.

The wage information included is based on full-time employment in

Unusually high wage information may represent special circumstances,
such as graduates’ previous employment in the field. Unusually low
wages may be due to employment on a volunteer basis or similar
circumstances.
This total is unduplicated; however some students graduated from
more than one program during the 2013-14 Academic Year.

¹ Wages not disclosed - Programs with fewer than three graduates reporting full-time employment wages (35+ hours/week) in a related field did not allow for anonymous reporting of salary information.
² Many graduates seeking municipal jobs can take six to 18 months to be processed for employment eligibility due to substantial testing and background checks.
³ Wages may be inconsistent - Some graduates from this program volunteer their services and do not receive a salary, while others may be paid on a per call basis.
4
Wages may be higher than typical - Graduates of this program may have been previously employed as supervisors or employed in the field for several years prior to attending college.
5
Graduates of this program may be working fewer than 40 hours/week. Refer to average salary for more accurate estimate of actual wages.
For this reason, average salaries shown may be higher than a typical entry-level wage.
