NAFTrack Certification is an employability credential that serves as NAF’s seal of college and career readiness to help NAF students and alumni stand out in a pool of job applicants.
With a focus on Outcomes-Driven Work-Based Learning, NAFTrack Certification is achieved through a system created by education and business leaders to measure student performance, not only through end-of-course exams but also through culminating projects and internships.
How We Use NAFTrack to Measure College and Career Readiness
NAF uses a multi-method approach to assess students on a broad range of college and career readiness skills. For certification, a student must participate in 3+ work-based learning activities across the 3 phases of the Outcomes-Driven Work-Based Learning continuum (Career Awareness, Career Exploration, and Career Preparation) and demonstrate a level of mastery of the 6 Future Ready Skills, as validated by an internship supervisor.
Enrollment
Enrollment in a NAF academy and a career-connected program of study.
Students make the connection between career-focused content and future careers.
Career Preparation
Students reflect on their learning to set goals for college and careers, and experience internships that represent the culmination of the academy work-based learning experiences.
Skills Assessment
Students achieve career-specific technical skills and essential college and career readiness competencies.
Traditionally in the education industry, the need for student support is measured by eligibility for free and reduced-price lunch. ODIS seeks to change this.
