NEBA BEGINS AN EXCITING NEW CHAPTER
For nearly 30 years, the Northland Education + Business Alliance (NEBA) has connected education and industry across the Northland, helping prepare students for successful careers through strong partnerships with schools, employers, and community organizations.
Now, NEBA begins an exciting new chapter as part of the Northland Workforce Development Center (NWDC). This transition strengthens our shared mission of connecting education and business, expanding career pathways, and creating more opportunities for students while ensuring NEBA's long-term success.
Although NEBA has a new home, its mission remains the same. Participants can expect the trusted programs and partnerships that have defined NEBA for decades, now supported by the expanded resources and vision of the Northland Workforce Development Center.
