Industries We Work With
NAF is a nonprofit organization that has been matching qualified, diverse interns with businesses in a variety of industries for more than 30 years. From STEM fields like information technology, engineering, and health sciences to the fast-paced worlds of finance and hospitality, our interns can help your business succeed—now and in the future.
"Marriott has made the Courtyard brand NAF’s dedicated partner in providing real world opportunities to our industry’s future leaders. The results so far have been impressive, and we can’t wait to see what these students accomplish in the future."
"Seeing the behind the scenes of a large luxury property, which is a rarity for high school students, makes them consider career opportunities in hospitality. We emphasize that the hotel is not only made up of valuable room attendants or team members who check you in, but also finance specialists and those who oversee property management."
