North Country Community College Receives $50K Grant to Support Adult Learners' Career Advancement

Wednesday, March 19, 2025 at 2:55 AM

North Country Community College will use a $50,000 state grant to help more adult learners earn college degrees and advance their careers. The funding, announced by Gov. Kathy Hochul, supports the college's success in attracting adult learners through flexible programs, including evening, weekend, and online options. Since Fall 2022, the college has seen a 9.6% increase in adult learner enrollment, contributing to overall growth in degree-seeking students. The grant will support marketing and recruitment efforts, expanded academic offerings during non-traditional hours, and best practices for online teaching. This initiative aligns with a proposal to offer free community college tuition for adults pursuing degrees in high-demand fields like healthcare and cybersecurity.
