Autumn, my favorite season, is approaching as I write this letter. There is no place more breathtaking than New England in the fall, and we are fortunate to live on the North Shore — in my opinion there is not a more beautiful spot in which to live. Cooler temperatures and bluer skies create a magnificent backdrop against which we make our plans and participate in activities.We are also fortunate to have North Shore Community College as a source of education, training, and personal enrichment. Community colleges are a wise investment in ourselves — of our time, energy, and money. Added to the benefit of enrichment courses such as Couponing or Making Sea Glass Ornaments for the Holidays are the noncredit programs that can help you earn a certificate or prepare for a certification so that you can land a new job or increase your skills to advance your wages. According to a recent economic modeling study (emsi, 2014) there were 200,000 Nurse Assistant jobs added between 2001 and 2013.

Health care jobs such as dental assistant or nurse assistant are often the first step toward a two-year degree and better paying job opportunities. There are two sections being offered in Dental Assisting this fall and four for the Nurse Assistant program. Register early so you don’t miss out! Because occupations in mid-skill health care are the fastest growing, we also offer Central Sterile Processing, EKG technician, Electronic Health Records, among many other training programs. Another sector that is growing is business and finance, with careers in bookkeeping and accounting among those that have added the most jobs since 2001 (emsi, 2014). A shortage of workers in this field is approaching and interestingly, as the health care industry grows, so is the need for workers within that sector who have business skills; therefore, It makes sense to register for a program like our Bookkeeping and Accounting Certificate! Take some time this fall to look through this catalog or sit out on the deck with your laptop as the trees turn from green to red and gold and peruse our web page (visit community.northshore.edu). Take advantage of the good fortune we share by having NSCC as a valuable resource, whether you wish to change careers, need group contract training for your employees (visit corporate.northshore.edu) or have a young child who would love to come to “college” (community.northshore.edu/youth_programs).

Health CareersStudents interested in participating in an academic program that involves working with children, the disabled, or the elderly, or which includes a clinical affiliation, internship, or field placement with a private or public healthcare provider, may be required to undergo criminal background checks, including a national as well as local check (i.e. Massachusetts Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) and Sex Offender Record Information (SORI)). Depending on the contents of these criminal background check(s), a student’s participation in an academic program that involves working with children, the disabled, or the elderly or which includes a clinical affiliation, internship or field placement with a private or public healthcare provider may not be allowed, and therefore may impact a student’s ability to complete program requirements. Furthermore, please note that eligibility to participate in the program and/or clinical affiliation, internship or field placement as a result of screening requirements, such as criminal background checks, is not a guarantee of eligibility to sit for professional credentialing examination(s) or employment upon graduation.Caring for People with Alzheimer’s: Habilitation TrainingHabilitation Therapy is a method used to best care for and positively enhance the quality of life for those who have dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease.

FAQsAre there discounts if I sign up for two classes or have more than one child registering? North Shore Community College is committed to keeping the cost as reasonable as possible, therefore, tuition is priced accordingly so that no other discount is available.

Why do classes sometimes get cancelled and how can I help to be sure they run? We need to give our instructors five days’ notice if their class is not going to run. Therefore, if we can get as many registrations in as early as possible, everyone wins.

Is my child always accompanied by an adult to classes and bathroom breaks? Absolutely! Kids to College students (grades K-5) are taken as a group for bathroom breaks, go with a partner or counselor. All instructors, counselors, and staff are CORI checked for everyone’s safety.

How do I know if our class is cancelled due to inclement weather? The college is responsible for closing the college based on many conditions. Call our weather line if you are in question at 978-762-4200 or 781-593-6722 x4200

I see there is a crossover in some classes for kids in grades 4-8. Why is that? We have found that many kids taking classes in certain subjects work together well and it is not so much about age as it is ability!

Note: You will receive a medical history form and media release form in the mail. You MUST complete and return by mail or on the first day of class. We cannot allow any student to attend class unless this paperwork is completed and returned.

Your early registration matters! Classes with insufficient enrollment as of one week prior to the start date will be cancelled.
