Here are some stats.

Students who enroll in NCC’s career-focused programs will be ready to step into these roles. Its programs are designed to equip students with industry-relevant skills and combine classroom instruction with practical, real-world training.

Once students graduate, they receive comprehensive job placement support ranging from resume assistance and interview training to career mapping and assistance with employee connections. This helps graduates to make an easy transition into a workforce that offers competitive pay and career stability.

Employers are also more apt to hire graduates from vocational and technical schools that have solid reputations. And, NCC is clearly among the top in the region. As a trade and technical school, it won the “Best of Las Vegas” award seven times and was also featured on U.S. News as a recognized community college.

Kimberly Perez, a recent NCC graduate, transitioned from retail to healthcare in less than one year after completing the medical assistant program in Las Vegas.

“Attending NCC was an incredible experience,” she says. “I learned so much about teamwork, made amazing friends and gained confidence in speaking and being honest with others. Today, I have a job that I truly love, and many of my co-workers have become my best friends.”

So, when students decide to join the NCC family today, they’re setting themselves up for career success tomorrow.
