Prerequisite: Finding True North - Role of the Navigator

“This was a very beneficial training. It provided a map through the woods for a job where the boundaries are not well defined. I have a wealth of information to help guide my future actions and a plan to help develop and improve my role for the good of the students. I would encourage all department of labor grantees and other federally funded programs to include this training for all future navigators.” Chris Green, Student Success Navigator, North Idaho College, ID
