Share Your Story
NAF academy students’ stories of working at their first “real jobs” attest to the personal and professional meaning each derives from the experience.
As a student, you strove to prove your merits, exceed expectations, and challenge your own beliefs about your capabilities and potential to achieve in life.
So how was it?
NAF wants to know:
- How did your internship further your academic and career goals?
- How did your internship challenge you emotionally, intellectually, professionally?
- What surprised you about your internship?
- What did the money mean to you?
- What advice do you have for students as they prepare for their internships?
- What will you do differently in your next job?

Groundhog Job Shadow
Feb 02, 2012 (All day)
Each February, NAF participates in National Groundhog Job Shadow Day (NGJSD), a national campaign that gives young people a new perspective on their studies through hands-on learning and a one-day mentoring experience. >
Students are paired with a mentor who they will "shadow" throughout the day to experience how the skills they learn in the classroom can be applied to the real world. This event also provides an opportunity to introduce future employees to the vast array of careers available as well as supporting community efforts. >
