(WAUSAU, Wis.) – Northcentral Technical College (NTC) will relocate services offered in Wittenberg to meet community needs and support changing campus usage. The current campus, located at 402 N. Genesee St., Suite 3, will be put up for sale and NTC will relocate services to other areas of the Wittenberg community, including Wittenberg High School.
“Having a presence at Wittenberg High School builds on the strong partnership we already share, and we’re grateful they are willing to host us,” said Dr. Jeannie Worden, President of NTC. “GED/HSED testing is the primary service currently offered at our Wittenberg campus, and our partnership with the high school will allow us to continue providing that service to the community one evening each week.”
“The Wittenberg-Birnamwood School District is committed to our community partnership with Northcentral Technical College,” said Garrett Rogowski, Superintendent Wittenberg-Birnamwood School District. “We will continue to provide an onsite location for all regionally provided NTC services throughout and until their complete transition to a newly dedicated facility here in our local community.”
Other NTC services will be delivered through additional community locations, on site at local businesses, at other NTC campuses or using technology. College leaders will continue exploring long-term location partnerships as community needs evolve and space becomes available.
While demand for on-campus classes and services at NTC’s Wittenberg campus has decreased over the years, one thing remains the same: NTC’s commitment to the Wittenberg community. The College has had a long-standing presence in Wittenberg with its first campus established in 1991. For the past 35 years, NTC has served learners and businesses while expanding opportunities for K-12 school districts and students. NTC’s presence will continue through existing community support, Chamber membership and bringing learning and support to the location it is needed rather than requiring learners to come to campus.
“Our commitment to the Wittenberg community remains strong,” said Worden. “Even as how and where we deliver services evolves, our focus continues to be on ensuring community residents, students and businesses have access to the education and training opportunities they need.”
