This
College has helped shape the careers of thousands
of health care and business professionals. Our curriculum is
tailored to the needs of industry with an emphasis on the
technical skills necessary for success in your chosen field of
study. North-West College was founded in 1966 by my family who
has been involved in the allied health field since the early
1950's. With over 35,000 graduates, your choice to attend will
be a decision that will affect your entire life in a very
positive way.
When I
decided to attend North-West College, I must
admit I was slightly apprehensive at first,
but it was probably one of the best
decisions that I made in my life. Initially,
when I graduated from North-West College, I
worked for an industrial medicine clinic for
four years. I decided to apply the skills I
acquired from that facility and applied at
Kaiser. I've been working for Kaiser for
almost 6 years now, and I love it. I am
currently working on my college degree and
have plans to be a social worker. Thanks to
North-West College, I've had the opportunity
to acquire skills that I needed to be
successful!
Thanks North-West!!
