It is through these partnerships that we fulfill our mission to prepare students, serve communities and create opportunities.

“We are continually amazed by the collaboration that happens in the Northland. Community partnerships with our local businesses, government agencies, and organizations help us carry out our mission: preparing individual learners for success in life by providing meaningful experiences in a safe and caring environment.”
Laura Hulett, Director of Communications, Platte County R-3 School District
“Northland Career Center (NCC) has been fortunate for the past many years to be a partner with the Northland Regional Chamber of Commerce. Never before has it been so critical for NCC to engage business partners in Clay and Platte Counties to provide relevant and meaningful experiences to our students so they can become successful members of our Northland and KC area workforce. I look forward to strengthening our relationship with NRCC and the Partners in Education to create these experiences. In the end, I believe the businesses will see a return on their investment as these students will become our future workforce for years to come!”
Brian Noller, Northland Career Center Director
