DESCRIPTION
NAF believes that all students should have the advantage of a high quality, paid internship before they graduate high school. But how is every academy supposed to achieve this ambitious goal? A series of sequenced work-based learning experiences throughout the academy experience will set up NAF students and partners for internship success. NAF has gathered effective work-based learning and advisory board development practices from across the network and organized them into the exciting new Work-Based Learning Center at workbasedlearning.naf.org. Learn how the Work-Based Learning Center was developed from the NAF network leaders themselves and how to utilize these tools to help your academy reach 100%. This session will provide time for participants to explore the site, so please bring a laptop, tablet, or other internet-ready device to the session.

Scavenger Hunt #1
Scenario 1: I serve as chair of my NAF academy advisory board. How would I explore the possibility of our advisory board forming it’s own non-profit?

Scavenger Hunt #2
Scenario 2: As a brand new academy director I know that we have some students participating in job shadows and internships, but think we should be doing a better job of providing all of our students with WBL opportunities. Where can I find a sample structure for grades 9-12.

Scavenger Hunt #3
Scenario 3: I’ve been hired as our academy’s first Work-Based Learning Coordinator. One of our goals is to give each student an extended, compensated, hands-on career preparation experience with one of our business partners. I also want to assure a high-quality experience for students and business partners. Where would I find a clear definition of a high-quality career preparation experience?

Scavenger Hunt #4
Scenario 4: Last year I arranged two-site visits with a local bank and an investment company for my finance academy students. The tours went well and were appreciated by the students, but I‘m wondering what I could do to better prepare students to make the most of these experiences.

Scavenger Hunt #5
Scenario 5: Our hospital has a long-standing partnership with two area NAF AOHSs. We can’t accommodate all of the students that are interested in internships with us. As a responsible business partner and advisory board member I would like to have information I can use to show other area health care businesses how they can benefit from getting involved.
