Union Partnerships

With our Union Partnerships, we offer continuing education opportunities to skill trade unions where you can earn certificates, associate degrees, and transferable credits towards bachelor degrees. Your valuable apprenticeship and career experience can earn you college credits toward these programs. Classes are available on campus and online.

Our Union Partnerships

WCC is proud of our associations and partnerships with national skilled trade unions and their Instructor Training Programs. These skill trade unions utilize WCC for their professional and technical courses and modern shop facilities to promote their local training centers throughout the United States and Canada.
