The NAF Advantage
But there is hope. Education, business, and community leaders are coming together to transform high school education in a way unlike anything that has been done in the past. NAF network members are bringing the classroom to the workplace and the workplace to the classroom, helping underserved students prepare for careers with rising incomes.
"We turn to the next generation and ask ourselves, what does the future hold for them? What kind of world will they inherit? Exposure to an industry through a NAF academy is the first time they’ve seen anything beyond their home or school. We can make their future different from their past. What we do matters."
How It Works
When communities invest in career-focused education, they strengthen local talent, attract and retain more engaged community members, grow local businesses, and most importantly, empower young people to reach their full potential.
Advocate for career-focused education in your community.
