Careers and Technology

The NMJC Careers and Technology division offers opportunities for learning vocational skills in a variety of business and vocational-technical fields. Programs provide technical knowledge as well as extensive practical hands-on skill developing experiences for students. Since the division’s inception, Careers and Technology has offered quality vocational training for students.

Below is a list of the programs offered by the Careers and Technology division:

These programs give the student options, which include certificate programs (nine and eleven months) and associate degree programs (two years). Course requirements are carefully designed to provide entry level skills for the student wishing to terminate training at the certificate or associate degree level. Additionally, students planning to pursue a baccalaureate degree at the university level may expect strong transferability of NMJC course credits. The use of vocational advisory committees, composed of representatives from business, education, and industry is an important factor in the planning, implementation, and operation of each Careers and Technology program. Advisory committees help to ensure that skills taught in the classroom are relevant to the occupation and meet current entry level skill expectations of business and industry. The quality of instruction is excellent. Professors possess many years of experience and training in their respective fields as well as extensive teacher education preparation. Training equipment and laboratories are comparable or surpass current business and industry standards.

Students of Careers and Technology disciplines have the opportunity to develop leadership skills, which complement their technical skills through participation in the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (VICA), Phi Beta Lambda (PBL), and Student Nursing Association (SNA). Student organizational activities help produce a well-rounded graduate/employee. Presently, as in the past, job placement for program graduates is excellent.
