Save money. The technical training through NWTI’s SCC program is paid for by the Office of Skills Development and is offered at no cost to you!
Save time. For some classes you will gain high school and college credit at the same time.
Meet new friends. Students attending the SCC program come from as many as 24 area high schools in Northwest Arkansas.
