EDUCATION & CAREER SERVICES
NMIC’s Education & Career Services combines real-world skills with high-quality classes. We support our students as they build the knowledge and skills they need to transition into college, advanced training, or careers. We offer adult education, high school equivalency diplomas (GED), employment readiness training, and career development. All classes are free.
I dropped out of high school at 14 and was struggling to find my place in the world. Through NMIC’s GED/HSE program, I gained the academic tools necessary to continue my education. I also found mentors who helped me earn my GED, do well in community college, and get accepted to Georgetown University.
