Hands-On & Homegrown

The Hands-On & Homegrown Workforce Pipeline Initiative represents a unified vision between NMTech and the CNMI Public School System to build a sustainable and locally driven workforce. This collaboration is designed to furnish students with early exposure to career pathways, opportunities to attain industry-recognized credentials, and a streamlined progression from academic pursuits to professional employment. Through this cooperative endeavor, we are effectively preparing our students not only for individual success but also for substantial and meaningful contributions to the future development of the CNMI.
