WCTC Foundation

Waukesha County Technical College (WCTC), home to nearly 18,000 students, is investing in the future workforce of Waukesha County and beyond.

On this episode of #MPC, we’re joined by Robyn Ludtke, the newly appointed Executive Director of the WCTC Foundation. Robyn shares how the Foundation supports students far beyond scholarships through emergency grants, campus food pantries, career closets, and hands-on program investments that help remove barriers and create real pathways to employment.

Robyn also highlights the Foundation’s Forward Dinner, a signature event that brings donors and students together through live demonstrations and personal stories, including Robyn’s own experience as a WCTC student who received critical support during a life-changing moment.

Looking ahead, Robyn discusses WCTC’s expanded focus on artificial intelligence (AI). Their newest facility is an Applied AI Lab, teaching students how to infuse AI across manufacturing, construction, health care, and business operations.
