Partnerships: Collaborating for Success

NPMA recognized that fostering meaningful partnerships with like-minded organizations and stakeholders would be integral to the success of the Workforce Development Program. The partnerships we have established support the delivery of internship programs, mentorship opportunities and train-to-hire professional development for audiences NPMA would not be able to reach on its own. We are prepared to offer a clear career pathway with a supportive network of mentors and industry professionals guiding them along the way.
