what the NWDC will look like
General Layout
Spanning 145,000 square feet, this state-of-the-art facility is strategically located to serve both the surrounding region and the broader Kansas City area. Designed with two floors of specialized spaces, the center is tailored to meet the growing demand for skilled labor across a variety of industries
First Floor
The first floor is dedicated to skill trades, offering hands-on training in fields such as construction, manufacturing, and electrical work. These essential programs are designed to equip individuals with the practical expertise needed to enter and excel in high-demand job markets.
Second Floor
On the second floor, the center focuses on health and human services, providing training in fields such as nursing, medical assistance, social work, and other community-based professions. This range of programs is aimed at addressing the rising demand for healthcare and social services workers.
Childcare Center within the NWDC
A Space Where Opportunity Grows
The Northland Workforce Development Center (NWDC) is leading a bold initiative to meet a critical need in our region - access to high quality, affordable healthcare. We are planning a 5,500-square-foot, $3.4 million childcare facility designed to support:
- Educators who need reliable care for their young children during the school day.
- Adult students attending evening and/or weekend certification and skills classes who cannot afford childcare but are determined to build a better future.
