 It's
one thing (not a small thing, mind you) to provide education and training
opportunities for workers. It's quite another to help them balance competing responsibilities
of work and personal life. But that's what the NTC attempts to do through the
programs and services described here. Work, school, retirement, kids, finances...
the NTC offers resources that help workers successfully manage all aspects of
today's fast-paced way of life. |
