North Central Michigan College Offers Fast-Track Certification Programs
The NCMC Department of Corporate and Community Education is offering an expanded series of Fast Track certification programs. The Fast Track program launched in May with a class of 22 students seeking certifications in Medical Assisting, Phlebotomy and EKG. The Fast Track programs were developed to offer certifications in a condensed version (3-20 weeks) in a mostly online format so students can work on the program on their own schedule. All courses include instruction, textbooks, certification fees, access to NCMC resources, and assistance with job placement. Additionally, funding is currently available from State of Michigan grants to cover a portion to the full amount of tuition. Our goal is to provide community members with opportunities for new careers in industries that are facing employee shortages.

Charlevoix County Community Foundation is Hiring |
|
The Charlevoix County Community Foundation is hiring for two positions. The Finance and Administrative Support position will assist with finance and administrative activities. The Youth Advancement position leads C3F’s strategic initiatives around scholarships, education, and youth.
Community foundations are unique to the communities they serve. Our office is located in East Jordan, a quick walk to the South Arm of Lake Charlevoix. C3F appreciates the value of work / life balance and we enjoy a flexible, positive work culture. We’ve been known to close the office to walk to Marty’s for ice cream and celebrate birthdays with lunch at the birthday-person’s favorite restaurant. As our community changes so must our Community Foundation, so we aim to be good listeners and good partners who are responsive, nimble, and creative. We like a spontaneous brainstorm. While we are focused on intentional, incremental movement forward, we also like to dream big for this community we love.
Applications for both positions are due by 4pm on Monday, July 25, 2022.

We are finally open for lunch! Starting this Thursday from 11-4pm, come enjoy our craft cocktails, buckets of beer, and unbeatable food with a beautiful view of Lake Charlevoix. We can’t wait to see you this weekend.
