The NET project is committed to preparing students for the 21st century workforce through the promotion of gender neutral educational strategies and practices.
The NET (Nontraditional Employment & Training) Project provides statewide technical assistance to Career and Technical Education institutions that sponsor Carl D. Perkins funded programs for nontraditional career options. The web site is designed to provide timely and useful resources to support the mission of building a nontraditional workforce through expanded educational and career opportunities for students.
The NET Project is affiliated with Center for Innovation in Career Development (CICD) at University at Albany. The Center has evolved from a 1968 project to provide in-service training for community college counselors to its present composition. The Center now works with various external grant and contract funds to support a range of research, development, and service activities. Throughout the year the Center sponsors or participates in a variety of workshops and conferences associated with funded projects, with a major emphasis on staff development.
The Center's mission is to support the successful transition of all learners to postsecondary education and/or employment opportunities through the development and delivery of innovative career-related resources and programs. The Center assists New York State educational and workforce preparation agencies through research, professional development, technical assistance, and resource dissemination.
