Colorado Initiatives

CareForwardColorado and CareerAdvanceColorado are two initiatives by the state of Colorado that are providing more opportunities for individuals to pursue career and technical programs, as well as healthcare careers. These initiatives provide tuition funding for higher education so that more people can have access to these valuable programs and be better prepared for a career in the workforce.

Not only do these initiatives help improve the lives of students by helping them access quality education, but they also help to create a more diverse workforce with different backgrounds and experiences. By increasing access to career and technical programs, employers will gain a stronger pool of talent that is capable of meeting their needs and the needs of their communities.

These two innovative initiatives open up a world of possibilities for those who want to learn new skills or pursue a new occupation. Start your educational career here at Northeastern!

Update-- CareerAdvance Funds have been depleted, and are no longer available as of Spring 2025.

I remind myself of what my parents endured to get where they are today. They were able to achieve the American Dream, and they have taught me to go above and beyond!

I come from a small community so it was a smooth transition from high school to Northeastern.

The most important thing that I see at Northeastern is that everybody is helpful. Sometimes I don't understand or I can't talk perfectly but everybody is trying to listen and understand me. Also it's hard to stay far away from family, but here I can feel more comfortable because everyone says, "Hello, how are you?", "How's it going?", to each other. That is perfect!
