In the heart of Northwest Arkansas, a transformative movement is taking place - a movement that is shaping the destinies of non-traditional students and breaking barriers to their dream careers. This movement is Upskill NWA, a sectoral-based program that serves as a beacon of hope for individuals aspiring to thrive in the healthcare sector.
Our Mission: Connecting Dreams to Careers
Upskill NWA operates at the intersection of dreams and careers, providing a vital bridge for non-traditional students to traverse the path toward their dream professions. Through strategic partnerships with five prominent hospital systems in Northwest Arkansas and educational institutions fostering healthcare careers, Upskill NWA is fostering a community where aspirations become reality.
Breaking Down Barriers, One Student at a Time
Our commitment goes beyond the conventional. We understand that the journey to success is often paved with obstacles. That's why Upskill NWA provides dedicated Career Navigators who guide our participants every step of the way. From resume writing to interview preparation, budgeting to financial planning, we ensure that no challenge becomes a roadblock on the path to success.
Impact in Numbers: Changing Lives, Transforming Generations
In 2023, we celebrated the graduation of 56 participants, and the results were nothing short of remarkable. A staggering 75% of our graduates secured employment within 90 days of completing the program. The ripple effect of this achievement is immeasurable, creating a positive cycle of change that extends through generations.
The statistics speak volumes: the average beginning income for our participants stands at $34,000, and post-program, this figure soars to an inspiring $56,000. Upskill NWA is not just transforming individual lives; it's rewriting the narrative for entire families, bringing about a positive trajectory that echoes for years to come.
