Work-Based Learning

1. NAF academy students participate in a sequence of work-based learning activities which prepares them to make informed college and career choices and allows them to acquire necessary college and career-readiness skills. The first phase of work-based learning, career awareness, includes activities such as guest speakers, worksite tours, and career fairs. Students dive deeper through work-based learning’s next phase: career exploration. During this phase, students participate in job shadows, mock interviews, and informational interviews. Students are then ready to start an internship during the third and final phase – career preparation.
