Welcome to NWCCNorthwest College of Construction is a professional-technical College created

by the construction industry to meet the workforce needs of our industry. Ourgoal as a private, non-profit educational organization is to provide the highly-skilled workers needed in order for the Oregon and SW Washington construc-tion industry to continue to build the homes, office towers, small businessfacilities, shopping centers, and the myriad structures that make up our com-munities. Of course we also must educate and train the workers who tie it alltogether with water, power, and communication utilities, not to mention theroads, light-rail lines and bridges that make it all work. In other words, weplay a critical role in our northwest economy.

We recruit and train entry-level students who are “Born-To-Build!” and areseeking their first job in the construction industry, as well as provide continu-ing education for incumbent workers with years in the industry. Many of ourstudents are registered in formal apprenticeship programs while others areopen-enrollment students who need just a few courses to fill in a specific skillgap in their trade, craft or specialty.

Most truly skilled workers understand that on-the-job-training isn’t enough.After all, construction products and methods continue to change and develop, sometimes at a rapid pace. This makesit imperative for workers to obtain the latest theory and technical knowledge available if they wish to compete for thetop-tier positions in the industry. NWCC’s combination of the latest curriculum, taught by experienced instructors, usinglecture and hands-on application methods create the optimal learning environment for students at all levels of theircareer.

We also provide the courses needed by those in the industry who are advancing into supervisory and managementlevel responsibilities and offer important certification classes such as OSHA, first aid, flagging, and other specialtycourses needed by the industry.

NWCC is in the business of building successful careers in the northwest construction industry. Be sure to take alook at our course selections and contact us or visit us on the internet at www.nwcoc.com today for more information.
