Juno Lower Rates on School Loans
NAAAP formed a partnership with a fantastic organization named Juno. Juno uses the power of group buying to help people get lower interest rates on new student loans as well as refinancing on existing student loans.
Juno is a completely free resource with no obligation to take the offered deals. Juno gives power back to borrowers and allows people to take ownership of their financial future.
Knowledge is Power, KIP101
NAAAP members can join KIP101 for on-demand mentoring with the invitation code “naaap39.” The membership is entirely free, and entails using templates, credits, and suggested connections to learn about career fields and career development.
KIP101 originated from two observations: 85% of people in the workforce today are not thriving professionally and too few are leveraging one of the best tools for figuring out how to achieve success: 1-on-1 career conversations. KIP101 aims to provide a bridge between the two and make career development’s best-kept secret universally accessible, so that everyone can have a good shot at maximizing their talents and enjoying satisfying careers
