Personnel work with high-school counselors, GED instructors, college students, and local employers to act as a link that will ensure students become productive participants in the workforce. Suggestions and advice are given in an attempt to help the student identify strengths and weaknesses as they may be related to college and career plans. Staff members also coordinate career exploration events.
- Transfer Advising: career and transfer advisors are also available to assist students transferring to four-year institutions as well as other two-year colleges. The transfer advisors provide one-on-one college transfer advising regarding selection of an institution to attend, selection of a major for the student's desired degree, and the articulation of courses taken at NACC to universities and two-year colleges within the State of Alabama as well as out-of-state schools.
