Parents, grandparents, spouses and partners, babies, children, friends; you should all be recognized for contributing to your graduate's success as they walk across the stage and accept their diploma.

We see you too, and we salute your contributions as we cheer on the graduates!

Thousands of technical college graduates are about to step into Wisconsin's workforce—and our economy is stronger because of it.

These new graduates are entering high-demand fields like nursing, forestry technician, welding, cybersecurity, electrical work, diesel technology, culinary arts, and precision machining. They're filling critical roles in agriculture, logistics, business management, and early childhood education.

These graduates have been trained for the careers Wisconsin needs most. They've learned hands-on and from the best in the industry. They know the techniques. Many already have industry-recognized credentials. They're confident and prepared to contribute immediately.

To top it off, most will stay in Wisconsin, enriching the places they call home with their skills, their dedication, and their commitment to building something meaningful. That's the value of technical education. That's the value of investing in accessible pathways to careers that matter.

To every graduate: your hard work has brought you here. Now, go show Wisconsin what you can do.

We're celebrating National Apprenticeship Week, and we have some exciting news about apprenticeships. If you're considering a career, consider this: apprenticeships are a great opportunity -- where you can get paid to learn and work at the same time. You may be able to graduate without debt!

Apprenticeships are no longer limited to careers in the trades, either. There are apprenticeship opportunities in health care, information technology, finance, education and more!
