Parent Information

Our training runs for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, with over 50% of that time being spent in the shop performing hands-on work.  We have a strict attendance policy and professionalism code, requiring our students to be in uniform and on time every day, both to start the day and from every break.  If a student misses more than 24 hours (3 days) in a 6-week phase, he/she has to go home and restart the phase after that 6 weeks is up.

Our students are also required to wear a specific uniform: a WyoTech-issued work shirt, jeans/work pants, leather style work boots, safety glasses, and have their hair to a certain standard.  To learn more about our professionalism code and attendance policy, visit the Disclosures page and the WyoTech catalog here.

WyoTech has field representatives across the country and on campus to help introduce you and your student to what WyoTech has to offer. When your student expresses interest in WyoTech, he or she will be contacted by the rep assigned to your area.  This could be a local individual, or someone from our on-campus team who will work with you virtually.  Your rep will ask him/her a few questions to get to know their interests and career goals, then will schedule an interview to sit down with you and your student to make sure that WyoTech is a good fit.  He/she will walk through the school’s values and goals, then break down the programs and answer any questions you may have.  If WyoTech is a good fit, your rep will help walk you and your student through the application process.

When your student applies for WyoTech, they will be assigned a dedicated Financial Aid representative and Enrollment Services Coordinator. These two people, in addition to your representative, will be your points of contact throughout the enrollment process- removing the stress of talking to a new person every time you reach out.

WyoTech offers a variety of different campus-managed housing options, both on- and off-campus.  These housing options offer leases that match the length of your school, as well as resident assistants and security at every location.  To learn more about WyoTech’s housing options and offerings, visit the Housing Page.

WyoTech students from across the country travel an average of 1,000 miles to attend training in Laramie. Boasting wide open spaces and brilliantly colored skies, Laramie is a high-octane college town in the heart of the Mountain West. Deep western roots, a spirited, offbeat vibe, and a huge population of students make it a fun and active place to live. Its surrounding areas offer a variety of activities and pastimes, from shopping in downtown or in the close-by capital of Cheyenne, to local hiking trails, skiing/snowboarding, snowmobiling, and fishing. Laramie is also in close proximity to Colorado and Denver, offering a plethora of other activities that are easily accessible. Combining the small town feel with outdoor recreational options for days, students never run out of things to do.

WyoTech is proud to say we have a Career Services department that is dedicated to helping your student find a job and begin their career after their graduation.  This department hosts quarterly career fairs, with nearly a hundred or more employers attending, all trying to hire WyoTech graduates.  They also organize employer presentations for your students to learn about the different industry partners that WyoTech works with who want to hire WyoTech grads.  Career Services assists with resume writing, interview skills, and setting up interviews in order to help prepare your student for a career after his/her graduation.
