Community members are invited to Northwest State Community College’s new Van Wert location for an Open House on Thursday, November 21, from 5-7 p.m. Guests will have the opportunity to tour the facility and learn more about the nursing programs and short-term technical certificates offered in Van Wert.

Northwest State’s Van Wert location features licensed practical nursing and registered nursing programs, as well as general education classes. NSCC and Vantage Career Center have partnered to offer industrial certifications, too.
