Career coaching, leadership seminars, and mentor relationships are important resources that have measurable impacts on people’s professional trajectories. But in the midst of a pandemic that has stretched all of us thin, many lack either the financial freedom or the connections to pursue these traditional routes of advancement.
NU Accel is designed to guide you through the same steps of self-reflection and self-positioning, with the same effects on your career growth. We have chosen to offer this program at a deeply reduced price as part of our broader commitment to positive societal impact.
