Kudos to Katie Sommer-Ford! Katie is a great boss, understanding her employees’ needs, and schedules. and investing in us as humans.

Kudos to Rick Mathis & Ryan Deering! Under the growing portfolio of Workforce & Professional Development training opportunities, NMC Extended Education, and the Technical Division collaborated to provide Welding Fundamentals in the fall 2022 term. Rick Mathis and Ryan Deering instructed the class of 8 students who all received their certificates of completion. Three of these students took the opportunity to continue with NMC on the credit side, thus the non credit class was a successful onramp for these students looking to continue honing their skills and knowledge. Thank you Rick and Ryan for inspiring these students to not only successfully complete the course but to continue their learning on the credit side.
