Almost 32 years ago this month, NIC broke ground on what would become the North Idaho College Workforce Training Center.
On June 13, 1994, college leaders, community members and local partners gathered in Post Falls to break ground on a facility dedicated to workforce education. The Workforce Training Program was created to provide credit-free courses and customized training for working adults. Later that year, the 38,000-square-foot center was formally dedicated and opened its doors.
More than three decades later, workforce training remains a core part of NIC's mission, serving students, employers and industries across North Idaho.
