Creating the Pipeline of our Next Generation Workforce
With
the full support of the Newton County Board of Education, the Newton
County Chamber of Commerce, and our community and business leaders, the
Newton College and Career Academy (NCCA) was created to enhance academic
achievement and provide students with the knowledge and skills
necessary to succeed in postsecondary education and the workforce. Our
goal is to provide students in Newton County high schools with requisite
skills and knowledge to exceed the majority of U.S. Department of
Education performance indicators; to increase the number of students in
Newton County high schools receiving post-secondary credits through
local post-secondary partners; and to help students become workplace
ready in order to be gainfully employed or to continue their education
and training in a variety of post-secondary options.
Students at NCCA will have the chance to connect more directly with
their career paths and earn industry credentials in addition to their
high school diploma, increasing the chance for our students to be
gainfully employed in a very competitive work environment. Programs at
NCCA focus in areas that are high skill, high wage, and high demand
occupations.
