Agriculture Vet Tech assistant program CLICK HERE Back to all programs ​ ​ STUDENT TESTIMONIAL “My parents and grandparents have been running a family farm since 1982; my Dad and Grandfather have built it from 57 cows to 1000 cows.

Veterinary Technician Back to all programs Choosing a career as a veterinary technician means caring for all kinds of creatures, from poodles to platypuses. By combining your love of animals with what you do for a living, you not only have a positive impact on the lives of animals, you enrich the quality of your own life as well.​ ​ According to the US Department of Labor, the demand for Veterinary Technicians is expected to grow 36% over the next several years, which is much faster than the average for all occupations. ​ Earn college-level credit along with gaining work experience valuable to your future career in this area. Plan on release time from school during the second semester to go on the job site. Receive the state certificate students when you complete 450 hours of work-based learning. (The classroom training does not count toward these hours.) STUDENT TESTIMONIAL “I am extremely grateful to have the opportunity to be a part of the Youth Apprenticeship Program. It has given me the opportunity to participate in many things that many students do not get to experience in a classroom. The hands-on experiences with veterinary technicians and veterinarians have taught me so much about the field of veterinary science. Each and every day I have learned something new like proper surgery sanitation, proper handling of different animals, how to interact with clients, and much much more. By obtaining this knowledge early on in my education, I now have a head start in many of my animal science classes I plan on taking at the UW Platteville.“ Emma Skrepenski, Class of 2019, Sun Prairie
