Blackhawk Technical College and Scot Forge are partnering to offer the first Fork Truck Repair and Heavy Equipment Technician Apprenticeship Program in Wisconsin. The two organizations currently offer a Mechatronics Apprenticeship Program. Four individuals were recently signed to the two programs and will begin their on-the-job training and classroom instruction.

Blackhawk Technical College offers a free shuttle service for students that connects locations in Beloit, Janesville, Milton, Monroe, as well as University of Wisconsin - Whitewater at Rock County and University of Wisconsin - Whitewater. The College recently recognized its shuttle drivers for completing 500,000 miles and 5-years and being accident-free. The drivers recognized include: Larry Dunmore, Joann Gibson, Nicholas Hengeveld, Dan Krause, Douglas Lubke, and Robert Zechlin.

Blackhawk Technical College wishes to announce that it will host a site review for continuing accreditation of its Associate Degree of Nursing and Practical Nursing program by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN).

Students who complete a degree in either Sales Management or Digital Marketing will have the option to either transfer to a four-year college or pursue a career. The two degree programs are new offerings at Blackhawk Technical College this fall. Both programs are being developed and led by faculty member, Rich Fronheiser, and will be offered in flexible delivery formats to meet the needs of students.
