RHINELANDER (WAOW) -- Governor Jim Doyle told leaders of the technical college system that credits from tech programs need to transfer to the UW System, Wednesday.

Doyle was at Nicolet College to advance President Obama's initiative that sets a goal for the U.S. to produce 5 million new college grads by 2020.

According to Doyle, Wisconsin must improve the way credits transfer from tech programs into the UW System.

Newsline 9's Cami Mountain was in Rhinelander for the Governor's speech. Wisconsin Technical College System Board member, Mary Quinnette Cuene, tells Cami improving the credit transfer system is an important step that some colleges are making.

To hear details about the improvement, stay tuned to WAOW.com and Newsline 9 at 5!
