Kudos to Elizabeth Sonnabend!  If you look at the Pure Michigan Talent Connect’s website, you’ll find that NMC has 15 Programs of Study listed. These range from degree programs such as an Associate Degree in Nursing or Engineering, to noncredit certificates in Industrial Sewing and Paralegal. What you won’t see yet are the additional 20 programs that are in the queue for approval. NMC Extended Education & Training is adding new NMC credit and noncredit programs each year thanks to Elizabeth Sonnabend, Program Manager for the Work & Career Division. This is a portal used by anyone seeking training in Michigan. Potential students can find programs by searching by topic or institution. Having programs listed on MITC is a requirement for future Workforce Pell-approved programs; it’s basically “step 1.” Some of these programs meet initial Workforce Pell program requirements such as hours of study and length of program. Elizabeth is positioning NMC for future Workforce Pell program opportunities. Thank you, Elizabeth, for going above and beyond to include both credit and noncredit programming in your role as Work & Career Program Manager. These applications are extremely tedious, and I appreciate your diligent work in submitting these to MITC.
