Discover the best parts of being a student at NAIT
By Katie Wallace on April 24, 2024
Have you ever wondered what the future holds? What school you’re going to attend? And what’s gonna lead from it? I certainly did, just over a year ago. After completing my first semester at NAIT, I can say that the future appears more promising than ever. When you pursue your goals or dreams you’ll uncover numerous opportunities that stem from your efforts becoming a reality. Allowing you to move forward purposefully in achieving your goals.
During these past four months, I’ve discovered:
- Exciting job opportunities
- A vibrant community and meaningful connections
- Comprehensive support for physical, mental, and emotional well-being
At NAIT, there are a multitude of opportunities for you. Possibilities are waiting to be uncovered and cherished at every corner. In my first week, I was fortunate enough to encounter such an opportunity. A job opening at Bell Media caught my attention, prompting me to apply. Soon I found myself interviewing for and securing the position.
That was the moment I realized how close my dreams were to becoming my reality.
NAIT enhances these opportunities with “The NAIT Hub,” powered by Ten Thousand Coffees. The NAIT Hub is a mentorship program that introduces you to alumni, based on your specific career interests and goals. There are also Career Advisors available to direct you to your professional career and discuss your long-term career plans.
Alongside these opportunities, learning from experienced faculty, gaining hands-on experience in your field and accessing resources is a blessing. I also have a feeling you’ll find connections and a supportive community of like-minded individuals. Individuals who will not only share similar goals, but also provide invaluable support, guidance, and encouragement to help navigate the path to success. Allowing you to connect with people you might know in the future as friends, colleagues or even employers.
