The North Country Career Center is one of the crown jewels of Newport. One of sixteen regional technical centers across Vermont, they provide education and technical training to high school and adult students.
The program is available to qualified 11th and 12th grade students from North Country Union HIgh School, Lake Region Union High School, homeschooled and local private schools, but they also work with adults. The offer fourteen career and technical education programs, and the facility is kind of amazing.
NCDD and NCCC partnered last year to use funds provided through a USDA Rural Business Development Grant to purchase $10,000 worth of text books to support the program, and we’re now looking at concrete ways that NCCC students can support the revitalization of downtown Newport in hands-on projects. Stay tuned as the great partnership gets better and better!
