Three opportunities to attend a Virtual Open House will also be offered and attendees will hear from faculty within their area of academic interest and current students and alumni.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone has such different needs,\u201d Chicklis says. \u201cThe pandemic has left current and soon-to-be college students unsure about their fall plans, furloughed workers are rethinking their careers, and the unemployed need training for jobs. We are prepared to assist all of them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.necc.mass.edu\/apply\/information-sessions-tours\/\">Here <\/a>is a complete list of admissions events.
