Where did October go? The days on the calendar flew by like the leaves blowing by the window and here we are in the 2nd half of November.
Classes, student clubs, and sports teams have been going right along and have adapted to the "new normal" that we all find ourselves in. Thanks to many community partners, foundations, and individual donors, as well as governmental support, we have been able to keep our campus open, classes in session, and students, faculty and staff safe. Make sure to follow our social media pages and check out our web site to keep up to date on what we have going on.
The role NHTI plays in educating our workforce has never been more important as the economy shifts and the needs of the business community and interests of the local workforce changes. I am glad we are here to provide that education, whether it is a one-day training through our Business Training Center, a microcredential course, or an Associate's Degree. NHTI has a variety of options for those looking to advance their careers, change gears, or just see what there is out there.
Thank you for all your support of NHTI and our students.
