“Your Future Starts Here”
Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC) is a public two-year technical college based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with campuses in downtown Milwaukee, Oak Creek, West Allis, and Mequon. MATC traces its origins to 1912, when the Milwaukee Continuation School opened to provide education for young adults seeking to balance work and learning. After several name changes, it merged with other vocational schools in the Milwaukee metropolitan area in 1969 to form the institution known today as MATC, part of the Wisconsin Technical College System. The college enrolls more than 30,000 students annually and is the largest technical college in Wisconsin, serving one of the most diverse urban student populations in the state. MATC offers associate degrees, technical diplomas, certificates, and apprenticeship programs across more than 170 programs in business, construction, health, information technology, transportation, and the arts. The college is a key partner in Milwaukee's economic development, training workers for the region's healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, and technology sectors. MATC's downtown Milwaukee campus anchors the institution and provides access for students across the metropolitan area.
