Professional Development Opportunities
Adult education professional development opportunities are open to part-time and 
full-time Wisconsin Technical College instructors and staff and our Community-Based educational partners.
Because each opportunity may have different eligibility criteria, please refer to the specific training for more information.
The Adult Education team ensures that professional development opportunities are aligned with the WTCS Student Success Center goals, Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Title II, and Faculty Quality Assurance System (FQAS).
For questions about professional development options, contact Cristina Parente, Director, ELL Programming.
