Thriving Through Partnership
College of DuPage has been a proud NACCE member for more than 20 years, and its best practices in entrepreneurial education have played a major role in the college’s success. Today, College of DuPage Continuing Education enrolls more than 35,000 students annually, serving as a significant pathway into the college’s degree programs.
This year, we are excited to announce a historic collaboration: NCCET is joining forces with the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship (NACCE) to offer two conferences in one.
NCCET remains a national leader in continuing education and workforce development, while NACCE drives innovation in entrepreneurial education across higher education. Together, these organizations are creating a powerful, unified experience designed to strengthen institutional capacity, expand workforce pathways, and support colleges during a time of tightening budgets and rising community needs.
Unmatched Value for Attendees
To support member institutions, NCCET will extend annual membership through December 2026 at no cost for every institution that attends the conference.
In addition, NACCE has generously extended its member discount to NCCET members — a $400 savings per registrant, plus at least $500 in added value through the complimentary NCCET membership extension.
