What to wear when attending NIC training events: Dress, Personal Supplies, & Luggage

Date of Publication

A professional appearance is expected. Business casual attire is required. (Example: Docker-type slacks with a collared, button shirt). 

Not Acceptable for the classroom: Athletic garb, cut-offs, shorts, T-shirts, sweatshirts, sweat pants, flip-flops, jeans, or sneakers. (Exceptions to this dress code will be made when they are appropriate for a particular event/day for a program. If this is the case, you will be given instructions in the information you receive for that program regarding exceptions to the dress code).

Since the classrooms are sometimes cool, it is advisable to bring a sweater with you. Colorado weather is quite variable, and from September through May, it is advisable to bring a winter jacket and boots. Check your weather app/channel for climate projections.

You should bring your own toiletries, athletic wear, swimming apparel, and other personal items, including alarm clocks. You will be given a 2" to 3" binder of materials to take home with you. Plan luggage space for it and possibly additional materials. We cannot mail your training materials to you.
