Career Development

Wichita Area Technical College believes that every person should have the opportunity to find a satisfying career. The Career Services staff can help you open the door to a successful career.

Consider these facts from The Conference Board:

Many people waste years and money due to inappropriate career choices. Before you waste any more of your precious time or money, ask yourself if you need to focus on career planning.

  • Have you made career decisions in a careless or lazy manner? 
  • Have you made career decisions without much thought?

WATC Career Services personnel can show you a better way to make career decisions — one based on a model of career planning that addresses self-assessment, career information, decision making and goal setting. Contact Laura Rae Barker at the Main Campus, 316.677.9520, to learn more about how we can help you with career guidance. 

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.
