NMC’s annual Career Fair is expanding! For the first time we’ll be offering the NMC Career & Majors Fair where employers will sit side-by-side with faculty from our academic majors to showcase how NMC pathways can lead to employment opportunities in our region. This year’s fair, as in the past, aims to attract current NMC students and community members looking for careers, as well as prospective NMC students and those still deciding on their career path.
