NAI is offering the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery Exam on April 15th at 7:30 AM in the NAI Cafeteria. This exam is available for NASH and NAI students who are interested in gaining insight into their strengths and how they align with various career paths. The ASVAB is an aptitude test that helps students explore a wide range of career options—whether they plan to attend college, pursue a trade, enter the workforce, or consider military service. Taking the exam does not commit a student to military service. Following the test, students will receive a detailed interpretation of their results to help them make informed decisions about their future. This opportunity is free of charge. For more information, contact Lt. Col. Accamando at NAI or stop by the NASH Main Office. The deadline to register is April 11th.
