NCONNECT

Highlight Your Industry CONNECTING LEARNING WITH CAREERS

Businesses looking to identify and engage their future workforce can rely on nConnect. nConnect utilizes strategy discussions to assist companies in their efforts to build a collaborative relationship, with local schools to provide career preparatory experiences for students. These nConnect facilitated experiences help partner companies create a pathway for students to local careers. By working with nConnect, employees actively involved in the local economy are given opportunities to show their workplaces, share their insights, offer hands-on activities and describe the skills and education needed to thrive in their industry. These events build social capital with students looking for future employment and with communities under represented within the professional communities. Partner businesses in our community are eager to work alongside nConnect: “We were able to give the students hands-on industry experience, and mentorship. Just as important, it allowed us to see the student’s capabilities and work ethic, which enhanced our onboarding process. Our experience with nConnect is one that will continue for years to come.” – Chuck Richards, ADS Washougal
