Students in grades 9–11 are invited to experience campus life, explore exciting career paths, and dive into fun, hands-on activities that bring learning to life. Students will also learn how High School Career Academies give them an early start on college and their future career. Registration will open approximately three weeks before the event.
Event Schedule:
Help students explore dream jobs and careers while they’re still in high school. With little to no cost, they can earn college-level credit through dual enrollment courses and get a head start on their career.
Students can even apply their dual enrollment course credits to one of several High School Career Academies to earn a college-level certification while still in high school at little to no cost.
Each Career Academy is a set of classes focused on a specific career area, such as Business, IT, Healthcare, or Manufacturing.
The annual cost of tuition and fees at Moraine Park is around $4,800 compared to an average of between $7,444 and $32,472 at four-year institutions.
Many programs are eligible for financial aid, and most full-time and first-time students receive financial aid.
Over $3.2 million in financial aid was distributed for spring 2024, with a majority as financial gifts (scholarships or grants).

For students like Brittany Wenzlaff of Kewaskum and Hannah Silloway of Ripon, the program has offered the perfect opportunity to grow their skills while balancing life outside of school.
Wenzlaff began the program in January 2025 and will graduate in December. After earning her CNA, she wanted to explore new opportunities in health care but wasn’t sure if nursing was the right path.
“I chose this program as an entrance into the medical field,” she said. “I have my CNA but wasn’t sure if I wanted to continue to nursing, and felt the Medical Assistant program was a perfect opportunity to do more in the medical field.”
When Adam Hoogervorst enrolled in Moraine Park Technical College’s Graphic Design program, he was eager to take his creativity to the next level and turn his passion for art and design into a career. Within his first year, he gained real-world experience through multiple internships.
One of the first classes Hoogervorst took at Moraine Park was Computer Literacy, where he learned essential tools like Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint, along with professional development skills that helped him build his resume and LinkedIn profile. That preparation soon paid off.
