The NCCC empowers you to reach your college and career goals.
Our Mission
The mission of the NCCC (Navigating and Coaching for College and Careers) is to provide individualized student supports that promote postsecondary success and lead to meaningful, family-sustaining careers.
How Do We Accomplish This?
The NCCC partners with community colleges in Minnesota to offer their accredited courses and career pathway programs in a classroom setting in Northfield. All classes are taught by community college faculty. NCCC staff also provide wrap-around support to students enrolled in other programs through virtual tutoring and advising sessions.
What Makes the NCCC Different?
- Students have access to 1-on-1 individualized supports, from tutoring to free childcare.
- In-person and online courses are available at a variety of times that work for students’ schedules.
- A team of dedicated, friendly staff is available to support, to empower, and to plan ahead.
