CWI offers classes throughout western Idaho at a variety of campus and community locations. The long-term plans for CWI is to condense its campus locations to a four-core campus concept that includes build-out of the primary Nampa campus, a Meridian campus with a potential health science emphasis, an East Boise campus with a technical emphasis, and a horticulture/agricultural campus. In addition, the College will continue to engage with community resources to supplement educational offerings in areas that best serve the communities we support.

Coming Fall 2012 – CWI will open a new Professional Technical Education Center as part of the Nampa Campus expansion. The Center will house a variety of technical programs including heavy duty truck, heavy duty equipment/diesel technology, automotive, auto body, powersports and small engine repair, welding and manufacturing, machine tool, electronics, and drafting. Student support services and a new bookstore will also be located in the new center. Students and local businesses will benefit from quality, hands-on training conveniently located on the Nampa Campus.
