Pathways
NAF's current policy on the elements students need to complete as part of the Career Preparation requirement for NAFTrack Certification is as follows: The policy has been in effect since September 1, 2023.
Students will get credit towards NAFTrack Certification for the following kinds of WBL Career Preparation activities:
Internships
Clinical experiences
Youth apprenticeships
Mentored industry projects
Experiences must be 80+ hours in length (or 2 at 40+ hours)
Experiences must validate a student’s mastery of skills as measured by the student’s mentor or supervisor (not teacher, parent, or guardian) using the Future Ready Skills Assessment (formerly called the Internship Assessment).
Note: Experiences do not have to be paid in order to count but payment/compensation for students by host companies/organizations is encouraged.
