NCLab Career Training Outcomes Stand Out.

In a Workforce Development world where training dropout rates often exceed 50%, NCLab’s close to 100% training completion rate stands out. Let’s look at how we produce those results.

We begin with a very detailed free Career Readiness Assessment that identifies people who are able to learn and apply new knowledge and have the desire and perseverance to grow.

We follow it up with AI-based (Artificial Intelligence)  learn-by-doing career training programs that closely parallel unpaid apprenticeships. NCLab’s proprietary Artificial Intelligence-based teaching platform delivers trainees bite-sized knowledge that is immediately followed by tutelaged mini projects, during which the teaching platform watches their every step and helps them in real time with contextual help, hints, and templates, as needed.

Additionally, while other training programs often expect individuals to have a strong math background, prior programming experience, and/or a certain level of formal education, NCLab training programs incorporate foundational training for people who need to start there, at no extra cost.

To further ensure trainees’ success, trainees are assigned a personal coach who:

  • Meets with them weekly to review and discuss progress;
  • Is available, as needed, throughout their training;
  • Teaches them soft skills that they’ll benefit from throughout their career;
  • Makes them ready for job interviews.

Trainees love this way of learning since they are never left alone and they experience a feeling of accomplishment as they complete each mini project.

It’s little wonder that workforce development career counselors encourage their clients to take the NCLab Career Readiness Assessment and to look at NCLab’s career training programs as a way to get on a solid career track.

Following are short descriptions of our career training programs.

“Automation Technician Training”

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. Along with it comes an opportunity to join this new work environment and the rewards that it offers.

“Computational Literacy For Modern Careers”

Automation is taking over manufacturing, healthcare, transportation, banking, retail establishments, logistics, 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.
