The NTCC Work4College Program celebrated the end of summer with its annual appreciation luncheon on Wednesday, July 31st. Work4College donors, supervisors, students and their families attended the event in the Student Union Building. This is the 10th year of the program, and more than 85 students participated.  

The NTCC Work4College Program is so much more than just a job! In addition to doing meaningful work on campus, W4C students also take a class that covers a variety of topics that help them as they transition into adulthood. This week students focused on learning proper etiquette for dining and formal social situations. 

It is hard to believe that NTCC’s Work4College Program is celebrating its 10-year anniversary this summer! When the program kicked off a decade ago with just 14 students working on the college farm, we had no idea the impact it would come to have on our campus and the lives of countless students. This summer we have 89 participants who are WORKING hard to EARN their college education.
