Specialized Technical Programs

We’re partnering to help offer opportunities for our workforce that have never existed before. Washburn Institute of Technology has two locations in Topeka that offer customized training programs where companies help build the curriculum for cutting-edge programs. Washburn Tech can address current training needs or prepares students to enter the workforce with a level of knowledge that is specific to the industry they are working in.

Washburn Tech’s main campus is comprised of seven buildings which offer a mix of classrooms, lab space and shop facilities. This location also features the Ichabod Shop at TechAdvantage Center, Conference Center and numerous meeting spaces. Parking is readily available and the campus is close to one of Topeka’s busiest business districts, the Wanamaker corridor.

Washburn Tech East offers training in manufacturing, health care, construction trades and the General Education Diploma (GED) as well as English as a Second Language (ESL) classes. Another opportunity is the Accelerating Opportunities-Kansas program or AO-K. Developed by the Kansas Board of Regents in partnership with the Kansas Department of Commerce, it enables students to work toward their GED while acquiring technical training at the same time. Costs, to the student, are minimal.

Washburn Tech has a 94% job placement rate, which is the highest in the state of Kansas.
