Preparing Students for the Future for 50 Years

For 50 years, Wilco Area Career Center has been empowering students to explore their interests, develop real-world skills, and prepare for successful futures. Since 1976, Wilco has connected classroom learning with hands-on experiences that prepare students for college, careers, industry certifications, and the workforce.

Today, Wilco offers a diverse selection of Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs for high school students, including opportunities in health sciences, skilled trades, aviation, public safety, technology, business, culinary arts, cosmetology, early childhood education, and more. Many programs provide opportunities to earn college credit, industry-recognized credentials, certifications, and valuable work-based learning experience while still in high school.

As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we proudly honor the students, staff, families, businesses, and community partners who have shaped our history and look forward to continuing our tradition of preparing the next generation of skilled professionals.
