Why WSU Tech?

We deliver a high-tech, high-wage, high-demand career pipeline for students. We partner with employers to equip people with relevant skills for jobs today and tomorrow. We measure success not by the number of students who come to us, but by those who leave equipped to land a job.

Students come to us from all walks of life. No matter their circumstances or background, we help improve their lives by building skills required for high-wage, high-demand jobs. For students just starting out, we provide direction. For the single parent in a dead-end job, we deliver options. And for the seasoned manager, we build new skills. All find what they need to elevate themselves and their careers.
