Higher Education in the North Country, NH

I have been facilitating free workshops all over northern New Hampshire to help those uncertain of their future career direction.  Hmmm, it seems like we all are wondering about our futures these days, yes? …. I have been so impressed by the enthusiasm and guts of those who have attended.

Even though the job market is tough right now, many said they were ready to take advantage of the affordable continuing education that is available to them.  Two who attended recently said they were just laid off and insecure about going back to school again. It had been years since they went to school.  I understand that feeling, but it is nice to know we have strong academic support at our college.

Participants tell me the workshops entitled “Who Are You, Where Are You Headed and How Can Higher Education Help?” have helped them learn about our non-traditional paths of learning, including online adult education classes, part time classes and career advancement programs.  They also said they enjoyed exploring with others the education and career advancement opportunities up here in the North Country. 

I invite anyone who may be ready to "re-invent" themselves for their next phase in life to join us. The schedule of upcoming workshops is on our Granite State College website.
