Why would I want to join the Summer Success Program?
Transitioning from high school to college can be a very stressful experience, especially if you are going to live away from home. This program will help make that transition an easy process and you will learn how to be a successful student. Participants will enroll in a course that includes learning life-skills associated topics involving, but not limited to the following: Orientation, gratitude, letter writing, team building, career assessment, resume building, civics, manners, ethics and morals, financial literacy, college success, etc. In addition, you get to experience living on campus for FREE and the classes you take this summer will help you to get ahead. With the rising costs of a four-year degree, every class you can take in advance at NTCC will save you hundreds and even thousands of dollars.
