Career Readiness Strategy

NAU’s 100% Career Ready initiative helps graduates succeed in today's changing job market. Through practical skills, adaptability training, and well-designed academic programs, we prepare students for the real-world challenges they’ll face after graduation. Your generosity will go a long way toward preparing graduates for lives of purpose and careers of consequence—helping Lumberjacks build meaningful careers, support their families, and make a difference in their communities. Give today to the 100% Career Ready Fund to support this initiative.

Statewide Initiatives and Alliances (SIA)

SIA is a pivotal entity within the university, providing direction and leadership in advancing strategic goals related to statewide program development and design. SIA ensures that systems and processes are in place to support flexible and market-driven offerings, as well as community college transfer plans, spanning the entire state of Arizona. Give today to the NAU Statewide Impact Fund to support this initiative.

Workforce Development (WFD) 

WFD is a vital resource within the university community. We specialize in connecting with businesses and industries to provide essential services such as workforce training, tuition partnerships, and academic programs. We offer students innovative solutions to achieve their academic goals and prepare them for success in the workforce. Give today to the NAU Workforce Development Fund to support this initiative.

Support statewide access, workforce development, and career readiness initiatives to ensure students are ready for their careers!
