About NSCC International

It is my pleasure to celebrate NSCC’s international achievements over the past year in this NSCC International Results Report— creating a global outlook for students and creating welcoming communities for international students and immigrants. Some of the transformative initiatives that are making a big impact include:

• NSCC hosted 4 externally funded summer schools at Akerley, IT, Ivany, Shelburne and Strait campuses with 4 partner colleges from Denmark and Germany.  Topic areas included Marine training, IT, Culinary and Hospitality, and Design Thinking and included opportunities for NSCC employee and student participation.
• NSCC led global skills opportunities programs with 40 students and 5 employees in 6 countries. Students gained global skills and competencies with partner institutions in the Caribbean, Europe, and Southeast Asia, focussing on topics ranging from cybersecurity to sustainability to women in trades and engineering.
