COVID-19 has reminded us all that now, more than ever, the world needs and highly values people who can think critically and act in creative, innovative ways. Employers are not simply looking to fill jobs–they’re searching for employees who can adapt, think critically, and solve problems in an increasingly complex world.
This NAU certificate program enhances your NAU experience by teaching you how to identify needs, come up with many good solutions, and articulate and advance your ideas. Ultimately, this class gives you core skills that will support your aspirations and help you build a thriving career and life.
