By: FEDweek StaffThe Navy College Program will start moving to fully virtual platforms on Oct 1. The transition to the Navy Virtual Education Center (NCVEC) from traditional brick and mortar would offer a single point of contact for sailors wishing to pursue “personal and professional development opportunities,” the service announced. The decision to go all-virtual was prompted largely by the success of all-virtual classrooms last year, brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic. Interested sailors now an garner any information they may need through the toll-free NCVEC telephone number, 1-833-330-MNCC (6622), selecting “Training and Education,” and then “NCVEC.” Information is also available online at https://www.navycollege.navy.mil.
