Dear current and future stakeholders: If you talk to an area employer about their key challenges, they will likely tell you that finding qualified workers is near the top of the list. In some cases, they may explain that it is their single most significant barrier to expansion and growth. This is in stark contrast to the situation just a few years ago in the midst of the “Great Recession” when many employers were scaling back. Like many areas, Northwest Wisconsin’s working-age population is shrinking relative to the overall population. This has been reflected in a steady decline in unemployment rates and increased competition for skilled workers in a variety of fields. Why is this important to you? If you are reading this, you are likely considering furthering your education at Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College (WITC). It is important for you to know that there are career opportunities in our area waiting for what you have to offer. You can contribute to our regional economy and reduce the workforce shortage by lending your abilities and talents to one of those employers who are limited by the availability of qualified workers. Whether you are considering your first career or a mid-life career change, WITC can help you. We are Northwest Wisconsin’s leader in providing Career and Technical Education, and the majority of the jobs in our economy require the kind of training, skills, and experience that our College delivers every day. Our students include people with a broad and diverse set of experiences and backgrounds. Our employees are committed to our students’ success. The information in these pages will provide you with what you need to pursue your educational and career goals. Start your journey at our nationally-ranked institution, and before you know it you’ll understand why WITC helps so many Experience Success. If you have questions about any of the information you find in our catalog, please contact us. We are here to help and we look forward to serving you!

Here’s three examples of how a student could use Dementia Care career pathways differently within a single program. Healthcare and Service Provider

Meet Jennifer. Jennifer works full time as a social worker. She has a bachelor’s degree, but she wants to increase her knowledge in the specialized field of working with the growing population of older adults she encounters in her profession. Jennifer looks at WITC’s gerontology – aging services professional associate degree, and she decides to complete the healthcare and service provider pathway certificate to enhance her professional knowledge in working with older adults. Jennifer mentions the courses she’s taking to her neighbor, Ella.

Meet Ella. Ella is working as a Certified Nursing Assistant in a local hospice program. Ella loves working with older adults and wants to further her career. Jennifer suggests that Ella should learn more about the full gerontology – aging services professional program at WITC. With the flexible class options, Ella can work in the field while she progressively earns credentials. Ella receives a technical diploma in the community-based residential facility (CBRF) caregiver and certificates in dementia care, and healthcare and service provider that are built into the gerontology – aging services professional associate degree program. Ella can immediately put her newly acquired credentials to use as she works in the field and continues her education. Ella overhears her friend, Sean, discussing his experience with older adults in a retail setting.

Meet Sean. Sean is the store manager of a large department store. In this field, Sean communicates regularly with older adults as both customers and employees. As the economy changes, Sean finds that many employees aren’t retiring upon retirement eligibility; he also hires retirees who seek part-time work. Sean hopes to develop a better understanding of the employees and customers. Ella mentions the option to take classes relevant to his unique interests within the gerontology – aging services professional program. She adds that the state-of-the-art aging simulation equipment has helped her develop a new understanding of older adults and their daily struggles. Sean decides to enroll in the courses Legal and Financial Issues of Aging, Physical Aspects of Aging, and Communication of Aging.

Program Overview Campus: Medical assistants are multi-skilled health professionals specifically educated to work in Ashland ambulatory settings performing administrative and clinical duties. The practice of medical New Richmond assisting directly influences the public’s health and well-being, and requires mastery of a complex body of knowledge and specialized skills requiring both formal education and Rice Lake practical experience that serve as standards for entry into the profession. Superior The Medical Assistant program prepares individuals to assist physicians in their offices or other medical settings. Medical assistants, sometimes referred to as clinical assistants, perform a wide range of duties. The medical assistant is responsible for medical and surgical asepsis, taking vital signs, drawing blood, giving injections, assisting the physician with examinations and surgery, administering ECGs, and administering medications. The business/administrative duties include patient reception, appointment making, record keeping, filing, bookkeeping, insurance handling, typing medical correspondence and transcription, and computer applications. Laboratory functions include specimen collection, performance of basic laboratory tests, and microscopic work.
