Career Planning: The purpose of the College and Career Planning Center is to provide guidance, motivation, and assistance to individuals as they transition from high school/ GED to postsecondary education/training and into the workforce. 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.
  2. 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. This process includes helping students obtain an Alabama Transfers Guide and promoting these and other articulation agreements to students and faculty. The transfer advisors assist with the admissions and scholarship process for four-year institutions. The transfer advisors also assist with on-campus college days and organize individual college visits to campus. It is the goal of the transfer advisors to help students successfully transfer and complete their chosen degree.
