Non-Discrimination

It is the policy of Northwest Technology Center to avoid discrimination against any employee or applicant for jobs because of the individual’s gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, gender identity, race or national origin, or because the employee or applicant is an individual with a qualified disability or is a qualified protected veteran. Northwest Technology Center will take affirmative action to employ all persons and promote all employees regardless of their gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, gender identity, race or national origin, religion or because the employee or applicant is an individual with a qualified disability or is a qualified protected veteran. It is our policy to base all employment decisions on bona fide job qualifications. This policy applies not only to initial employment but also to all subsequent employment, compensation, and training actions at the school.

Employees and applicants at the school will not be subject to harassment, intimidation, threats, coercion or discrimination because they have or may file a complaint against the school, assisted a regulatory agency in an investigation of the school, or exercised their rights under any federal, state, or local EEO laws.

This notice is provided as required by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Age Discrimination Act, the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, and any other state and federal laws addressing equal educational opportunity.
