The NCCC Approach
Students will have the opportunity to learn wine and distilled spirit production along with the coffee
and tea production industry. They will be exposed to both classroom theory applications, as well as field
experiences at Niagara Wine Trail Vineyards and local coffee roasters. Sales, marketing and management
practices will round out their educational experience through the Business Education division. This will
give graduates the opportunity to assimilate into the beverage departments at hotels, casinos, private
clubs, restaurants or tavern industry. As the hospitality industry and Niagara Wine Trail continue to
expand in the Niagara Region, the need for qualified employees will grow to further establish the Niagara
Region as a first-class tourist destination.
NCCC believes in employing instructors with the highest degree of education as well as work experience in
order to enhance the students learning experience.
Students wishing to obtain an associate degree may do so by continuing study in the Associate in Applied
Science Hospitality program or the Associate in Applied Science Individual Studies program.
NCCC provides both academic and personal support to students. In addition to the basic skills courses,
students are able to improve their skills by receiving assistance in the Mathematics Center, Learning
Skills Center and the Writing Center. Students can contact their academic advisor or make an appointment
in Student Development for additional academic counseling. The Wellness Center also provides personal
