The main mission of the technical colleges is to help everyone who wants to work, get whatever skills they need to be able to do so. If you are a non-native English speaker, our colleges can help you learn to read and write in English through English Language Learner (ELL), so you can make the most of all opportunities that come along, in your career and your life.
In addition to learning to speak and write English, students who want to become U.S. citizens can do so within the ELL program.
The English Language Learner (ELL) program assists individuals whose primary language is not English and who wish to learn to read and write in English. The course(s) provide skills leading to high school completion, entry into career-related education or job placement. The program will also help all students interested in becoming a U.S. citizen prepare to do so. ELL programs include one-on-one instruction, independent study (often with computer-aided instruction), group instruction, and work with bilingual tutors.
ELL programs are also available through local literacy councils and Community Based Organizations. Contact Wisconsin Literacy, Inc. for more information.
