NAF is highlighting leaders whose work inspires future generations of leaders across all industries. This past week, NAF alumnus, Conrod Kelly, spoke to NAF students about how to build their personal brands and stand out. He credits NAF with helping him secure his college internship at Johnson & Johnson, which led to a very successful career where he is now the Executive Director of Government Relations of Social Determinants at Merck. Watch and share with your class his conversation on "Turning your Brand into Equity."
Resource of the Week
Equity & Safety in Academies
Is your school a place for students to be their true selves? In this "zine", we examined the school culture of a NAF Academy of IT and found it demonstrated a positive school culture as a result of the NAF Academy design. We hope this showcases what it means to provide a safe, equitable space for students.
Curriculum You Can Use
Last week, we invited you to join our month-long celebration of CTE Month with an integrated project to develop a marketing plan for career academies. Last week, students conducted research and gathered digital artifacts to use in their marketing campaign.

For this week, your students can use familiar programs like Google Slides or Microsoft PowerPoint, or check out the latest industry applications like Adobe Spark, Canva, or Wix.

Coming Soon!
  • Week 3: Virtual Road Map – Students create a virtual roadmap of their academy courses, the post-secondary pathways, and the connection to their future careers.
  • Week 4: Virtual Presentation – Complete the marketing plan and present to the class.
