NACA Competencies for Student Leaders

The NACA® Student Leadership Competencies are designed to be a tool for advisors when working with student leaders. They provide a framework for advisors to use to help students articulate the employability, leadership, and soft skills students gain through campus engagement. The competencies were revised by the NACA Education Advisory Group, who incorporated the NACE career readiness skills and the CAS Standards.

The competencies consist of four domain areas: Programming, Organization Development, Individual Leadership Development, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Accessibility. Each domain is broken into tasks and competencies that can help students gain aptitude in that area.
