If you live in Rock or Green County, chances are you cross paths daily with one of over 16,000 recent BTC graduates, apprentices and certificate holders. Blackhawk alumni are the nurses, cops, factory technicians, construction professionals, and small business owners that keep south-central Wisconsin vital and growing. The College provides people with the skills needed to enter the workforce and succeed. State and federal resources help make this happen, but it's not enough. State allocations only partially meet budget requirements, and have decreased significantly over the past 20 years; and federal financial aid usually covers only a small portion of each student's financial needs. Without your support, many Blackhawk Tech students would be unable to achieve their educational goals.
