Upskill Nwa

Upskill NWA is dedicated to connecting individuals in Northwest Arkansas with high-paying, in-demand careers in the healthcare sector by offering free education and comprehensive support. The program addresses historical barriers by covering tuition, books, fees, licensing exam costs, and pairing participants with a Career Navigator for personalized guidance.

Launched in January 2022, Upskill NWA draws inspiration from the successful Project QUEST model, which originated in San Antonio, TX, to help residents obtain training and credentials needed for promising new careers. By collaborating with philanthropic, academic, and employer stakeholders, the initiative aims to alleviate workforce shortages and empower participants to achieve their career goals.
