NAU Career Closet
In an effort to minimize barriers to access to clothing for class presentations, interviews, jobs, career fairs, conferences, and other needs, NAU Career Development houses a closet full of donated business and professional clothing available to all Lumberjacks in need. Come to Career Development and share you’re interested in visiting the NAU Career Closet (no appointment necessary) and help yourself to your 4 items a semester!
Using the closet Accordion Open
Every Lumberjack can receive:
- 4 items of clothing per semester
- Unlimited access to “accessories” to include shoes, ties, scarves, handbags, jewelry, undershirts, hygiene items, etc.
Career Development can support you with access to clothing as well as preparing you for whatever you may need your clothes for! Sign up for an appointment in Handshake to do a mock interview, create a job search strategy, or even build your application materials.
Check out these professional dress ideas on the Career Development Pinterest.
