Follow on Google News | Broward Natl Acad Foundation Student Intern Reception 4/23By: Wragg & Casas Public Relations NAF’s success was recently featured in TIME Magazine’s cover story “The School That Will Get You a Job” on February 14, 2014. The story discussed new approaches to educating high school students that empower the students to successfully pursue college degrees and positions in the workplace there after. At the reception, professionals will learn how a Broward NAF intern can benefit their business while networking with members of Broward NAF’s county-wide board, other NAF internship providers and NAF students. When businesses host internships, they are investing in students’ futures – the internship experience gives students a chance to gain real world, hands-on experience. By supporting internships for Broward NAF students, businesses can directly benefit Broward public education. The reception will also include a raffle for a $100 Visa gift card, with all proceeds going to Broward NAF student scholarships. Broward NAF is a collaboration with Broward County Schools’ Career, Technical and Adult Community Education (CTACE) and The National Academy Foundation (NAF).
