Acquiring professional skills through short term and two-year technical education can lead to careers that offer excellent pay. Northeastern Technical College (NETC) Career Connect Program is an example of a short term certificate allowing students to get high paying jobs fast. NETC's short-term stackable credentials and coursework completed in less than a year provides students a quick gain of professional credentials needed to start an exciting new career.
The Department of Labor defines stackable credentials as a sequence of credentials accumulated over time to build up an individual's qualification to help them move along a career pathway or up a career ladder to potentially different and higher-paying jobs.
NETC offers coursework that supports skill attainment and employment. The programs require less time and money, and the curriculum aligns with employer needs. Certifications are available in business, healthcare, criminal justice, information management, engineering, industrial technology, welding, and logistics. Career Connect programs are college credit classes that allow you to earn and apply the certification credits towards additional credentials, such as an Associate Degree. The programs are eligible for Financial Aid and other grant funding.
The Lumina Foundation surveyed 126 CEOs of major U.S. companies, and 97 percent stated that the skills gap was a problem. Another study indicated only 11 percent of business leaders considered college graduates to be workforce-ready. Stackable credentials help close the skills gap. In an economy that increasingly demands workers with knowledge and skills, NETC can prepare you to meet that demand from employers in our local area.
"At NETC, we realize many of our students have obligations and need to get to work fast," said Robbie Taylor, Dean of Workforce Development. "Our Career Connect provides you with training to achieve your goals."
The road to success looks different for different people. You can find success with NETC's career connect program. Be you believe in yourself. Start your adventure.
Northeastern Technical College prepares the workforce of Chesterfield, Marlboro, and Dillon counties through education and training. For more information about the Career Connect Program at NETC, call (800) 921-7399 or visit www.netc.edu.
