Young Professionals
In March 2021, the NATA Board of Directors approved the separation of the NATA Young Professionals’ Committee (YPC) into two committees – NATA Early Professionals’ Committee (EPC) and the NATA Career Advancement Committee (CAC) – in an effort to better serve the individual needs of young and established professionals.
The NATA Early Professionals' Committee (EPC) was created to address the issues faced by athletic trainers within the first six years of initial certification as they begin in their careers. The committee focuses on leadership, educational initiatives and professional/ethical values. For more information and resources from the EPC, visit their new webpage, and sign up for their quarterly e-blast newsletter. Follow the EPC on Twitter (@NATA_EPC), Facebook (@NATA.EPC) and Instagram (@NATA_EPC).
The NATA Career Advancement Committee (CAC) was created to address issues affecting athletic trainers within seven to 12 years of initial certification as they advance in their careers from early professionals. The committee focuses on work-life balance, career satisfaction, career growth and professional retention. For more information and resources from the CAC, visit their webpage, and sign up for their quarterly e-blast newsletter. Follow CAC on Twitter (@NATA_CAC), Facebook (@NATA.CAC) and Instagram (@NATA_CAC).
