NCLab Career Training Outcomes Stand Out.
In a Workforce Development world where online career training completion rates are as low as 20%, NCLab’s close to 100% completion rate stands out. This is all done while delivering skillsets that are mapped to industry-recognized certifications and provide work experience that employers expect job applicants to have.
How It Works
We start with a comprehensive Career Readiness Assessment that identifies individuals with the ability to learn, apply new knowledge, pay attention to detail, and demonstrate the perseverance needed to succeed. To learn more about the assessment, Click Here.
Following the assessment, we provide engaging gamified learn-by-doing training, which includes foundational courses (such as workplace math) for those who need to build core skills—at no extra cost.
Our innovative platform delivers bite-sized lessons, immediately followed by guided mini-projects. During these projects, the platform monitors each step, offering real-time feedback, contextual assistance, hints, templates, and best practices, ensuring trainees never feel lost.
Trainees love this gamified learning experience, as it keeps them engaged and offers a sense of achievement with each completed mini-project.
To further ensure success, each trainee is assigned a dedicated academic advisor who:
- Monitors progress and provides personal support throughout the training.
- Is available for support whenever needed.
- Teaches valuable soft skills that enhance career success.
- Prepares trainees for job interviews and career opportunities.
It’s no surprise that ever-increasing numbers of workforce development counselors have their clients take the NCLab Career Readiness Assessment and employers actively engage with NCLab’s Employer Recruitment Portal to connect with our job-ready graduates.

NCLab Career Training Programs
Below are brief descriptions of our career training programs:
“Automation Technician Training”
Automation revolutionizes various sectors, including manufacturing, healthcare, energy and utilities, financial services, warehousing and distribution, laboratories, agriculture, and more. This shift presents a unique opportunity for individuals to enter this evolving workforce and reap the associated rewards.
According to a recent 2021 report by the Manufacturing Institute and Deloitte, the manufacturing sector alone faces a staggering 2.1 million unfilled jobs over the next decade due to a shortage of automation-related skills within the labor force.
In just two months, trainees in this program acquire essential automation-related hard skills, including workplace math, data management, machine programming, and spatial reasoning. Electives such as Introduction to CNC, Blueprint Reading, and Introduction to AI further enhance their skill set, equipping them with the competencies that employers seek in new hires.
Additionally, trainees develop foundational soft skills vital for success in any career, including problem-solving, attention to detail, critical and logical thinking, professional communication, time management, perseverance, and adaptability. These skills are essential for thriving in today’s dynamic work environments.
Upon completing this career training program, graduates demonstrate the ability to learn and apply the knowledge necessary for their new roles. They develop both the hard and soft skills required to excel as effective 21st-century employees. Furthermore, they are fully prepared to obtain industry-recognized certifications, including ACT’s WorkKeys National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC) and TOSA’s spreadsheet certification exams.
“Data Analyst Career Training”
In an era where nearly all enterprises face “data overload,” the demand for Data Analytics skills becomes essential for making sense of vast amounts of information. NCLab’s comprehensive Data Analyst Career Training program empowers individuals to secure high-paying Data Analyst positions.
Every enterprise, whether in market research, sales, logistics, or transportation, collects valuable data. In just four months, trainees emerge as capable Data Analysts, skilled in transforming data into actionable insights that enable management to make better and faster business decisions—such as determining pricing for new materials, reducing transportation costs, or addressing issues that drain resources.
Unlike many Data Analyst training programs that cater to individuals with a strong math background, prior programming experience, or specific levels of formal education, this program focuses on essential qualities: the trainees’ ability to learn, motivation, and commitment to hard work. This approach is possible because the training includes foundational courses, such as workplace math, for those who need to start there—all at no extra cost.
The self-paced, individualized nature of the training allows trainees to establish a consistent routine with their academic advisor, accommodating their work and family commitments.
Upon graduation, trainees possess the knowledge, work experience, competence, and confidence necessary to secure excellent job opportunities. They create a professional portfolio that showcases their qualifications to potential employers and are fully prepared to take CompTIA’s industry-recognized Data+ certification exam.
“Python Developer Career Training”
In a job market where Indeed.com lists over 87,000 unfilled Python Programmer positions in the U.S., NCLab’s comprehensive Python Developer career training program empowers individuals to pursue lucrative careers as Python Programmers.
Why Python? Python has emerged as the leading programming language for a wide array of applications, including Data Analytics, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Business, and Finance. Industry giants such as Quora, Facebook, YouTube, SlideShare, Dropbox, Pinterest, Reddit, and Netflix rely on Python for developing their cutting-edge technologies and services.
While many Python programming training programs target those with strong mathematical backgrounds or prior programming experience, NCLab’s program is distinct in its approach. We prioritize essential qualities such as motivation, willingness to learn, and dedication over previous knowledge. This inclusive methodology allows us to start at a foundational level, making the program accessible to everyone without any additional costs.
Trainees can complete the program in as little as four months. Our self-paced training adapts to each individual’s schedule, allowing them to cultivate a consistent routine alongside their academic advisor, all while balancing work and family commitments.
Upon graduation, trainees emerge with the knowledge, hands-on experience, competency, and confidence necessary to excel in the job market. They leave with a professional portfolio that effectively showcases their qualifications to prospective employers and are fully prepared to take the Python Institute’s industry-recognized PCEP certification exam.
“Computational Literacy For Modern Careers”
Automation is taking over manufacturing, healthcare, energy and utilities, financial services, warehousing and distribution, laboratories of all kinds, agriculture, and many other areas by storm. Tasks which traditionally were done by people are now being done by machines. But machines think differently than people, and one needs to develop a specific mindset in order to deal with them successfully. This is called Computational Literacy.
You may have heard about Computer Literacy. This is a set of skills which includes things like using Internet and email, utilizing passwords, protecting your data, etc. Computational Literacy goes one step further. It is about using computers and computing to solve problems. Computational Literacy is a combination of simple logic, common sense, problem solving, attention to detail, and perseverance. Computational Literacy can be learned, just like reading, writing, and using multiplication tables.
In the NCLab Computational Literacy For Modern Careers course, trainees develop computational literacy skills by using a virtual robot to solve various simple tasks. In this way they learn essential skills such as how to identify repeating patterns and how to break complex problems into simpler ones.
Trainees need approximately 60 hands-on hours to complete this program. Because training is self-paced and individualized to trainees’ schedules, they are able to build a consistent training routine with their coach that does not interfere with their work and family commitments.
Upon completing the program, graduates possess the mindset and skills needed to successfully deal with automation and intelligent machines.
