Naugatuck Valley Community College (NVCC) takes pride in its historic role as an engine for change in the lives of our students and in the communities we serve through strong relationships with Connecticut agencies that promote educational, labor, economic and community development initiatives. To that end, we offer programs designed to inspire and promote engagement both on campus and in our communities. Our students benefit from the evening bus service which their predecessors helped bring to the citizens of Waterbury, the federal GEAR UP grant funding for college preparation and the Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center which supports local workforce needs.
