The university offers graduate and undergraduate courses in many specialized fields as well as vocational training programs.

The NETS was based in San Isidro, Nueva Ecija, offering vocational opportunities to the youth of the province.

To meet with the increasing demand for vocational education in province, on June 7, 1931, the trade school was transferred to Cabanatuan.

The trade school continued to provide vocational and manpower training for students from Nueva Ecija and nearby provinces.

On May 28, 1953, the NETS was converted into the Central Luzon School of Arts and Trades (CLSAT) by the virtue of Republic Act No.

CLSAT was recognized as a center of manpower and vocational training for both the youth and the adults not only in the province but also for the entire Central Luzon region.
