The objective of Northview Next Career Center is to help all students between the ages of 15 and 20 acquire a NVPS diploma, regardless of their circumstances.
Featuring programs such as Career Awareness and Preparation, Future Focused Fridays, and Jobs for Michigan Graduates, NVPS is a leader in readying students for success after graduation. These programs allow students to pursue hands-on work experience through internships, job shadows and part-time jobs.
Maslow First
Innovated Instruction
Students learn in different ways, each project is uniquely tailored to that student.
