CND Overview
The ISU CND was established in 1983-1984 at the ISU College of Technology as part of a network of six Centers located in post-secondary professional technical schools in Idaho. These Centers assist individuals in transition to become personally and economically self-sufficient. The ISU CND also works with community members who are looking for new directions.
The ISU CND is located on the Pocatello campus in the Roy F. Christensen Building, #48, at the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Way and Memorial Drive (take Clark Street Exit to 15th Street). CND services are also available at ISU Adult Basic Education (ABE) Outreach Centers in Blackfoot, Montpelier, Preston and Soda Springs. The CND partners with the Idaho Department of Labor (IDOL) One-Stop Career Centers, and has counselors located at Pocatello and Blackfoot Job Service Offices.
CND assists College of Technology students complete their educational programs and become employed. The CND also sponsors workshops and groups including a “Transitions” (back to school) course. The CND actively supports enrollment in nontraditional programs of study. As part of the CND’s commitment to equity projects, Nontraditional Occupations Scholarships are available. CND also sponsors mentoring programs and networking groups activities such as the annual “Women and Work: Exploring the Possibilities: Trade and Technology Careers Conference.” The CND also provides GED scholarships and offers Basic Computer Skills classes. The CND partners with community agencies for resource information and networking referral.
