A Message from Congressman Donald Norcross

The narrative that you must go to a traditional 4-year college to make it in America just isn’t true. Whether you go to college, complete a job training program, or serve our great country in the military, your job is meaningful and important.

The opportunity to earn-while-you-learn as a union electrical apprentice allowed me to have a successful career and take care... Read more →
