The Student Handbook contains policies and procedures that relate
to many aspects of your life as a student at the College, in and out of
the classroom.
Northwest Technical College was first established in 1965,
as Bemidji Area Vocational Technical Institute, a two-year
college that began with two programs, Carpentry and
Automotive Mechanics.
Bemidji High School teacher Jake Outwin recognized that the
region needed a workforce with practical skills and knowledge
necessary for professional opportunities.
Just as the Mississippi River connected many aspects of early U.S.
culture and economy, so too, did the headwaters of this mighty
river spawn an educational institution that is now a source of
knowledge for a diverse population, molding and shaping the lives
and futures of thousands of individuals.
NTC continues to demonstrate its commitment to developing
imaginative leaders who effectively address the challenges of life
in a technological society, a pluralistic nation and a
multicultural world.
