You choose the path that fits. We help you get there.
Welcome to the NCCC—Navigating and Coaching for College and Careers.
Since 2018 the NCCC has provided a bridge to new opportunities, from advanced career potential to further college degrees.
The NCCC supports students at all stages:
- Parents thinking about going back to school
- Local high school students earning college credits through PSEO
- College students looking to reduce the cost of a bachelor’s degree by taking advantage of the Minnesota State Transfer Pathway or starting with an associate degree
- TORCH and RISE alumni attending a 4-year institution who need extra support navigating financial aid or other systemic barriers
- People in recovery, young adults exploring post-secondary education for the first time, and anyone looking for their next steps
Anyone with a high school diploma or GED can also take in-person or online classes at the NCCC and work toward an associate degree through our partnership with Riverland Community College. Looking for another route? Enroll in one of our certificate or career pathways programs – become a teacher, certified nursing assistant, or public safety officer! At the NCCC, one-on-one tutoring, childcare, and other supports are offered at no cost.
Whether you’re a first-time college student, currently enrolled at an institution, or returning to finish a degree after ten years away, the NCCC is here to support you!

“I am so lucky to be part of the NCCC because they have been my biggest strong support. It is amazing how far an individual can go when the NCCC believes in them, like they did with me.”
