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 always found inspiration from my professors at NJC who made me laugh, and encouraged me to be the best I could be.  Eventually I would like to use my skills to become a video game programmer or designer.

What I love about Northeastern is definitely the community feeling and the feeling of comfort! It is such a small college, so everyone knows everyone! It is like a huge family.

I've taken some hard courses that, at the beginning, I would never have thought I could ever get past. It's awesome how dedicated the professors here are!
