At Northern Michigan University's Technology and Occupational Sciences Department, it is our goal to ensure that students are provided a quality education that will result in job placement upon graduation. In order to fulfill this goal, our department’s faculty and administration works closely with students and area companies.
The department’s advisory committees (comprised of employers/employees, faculty, students and administration) meet annually to fine-tune program requirements, ensuring that our students’ educations prepare them to meet workplace standards.
In addition, our partnerships and industry associations provide students at the secondary and post-secondary levels opportunities for advancement through high school articulation agreements, annual job fairs, internships, scholarships and more.
