NFTE Curriculum Lab Day - Market Research
Volunteers are critical to every NFTE student’s learning experience.
They bring concepts and ideas to life and connect the classroom to today’s changing work environment. NFTE volunteerism is skills-based and provides opportunities to share expertise, insights and inspiration about careers, becoming an entrepreneur and what it takes to succeed.
NFTE Lab Days bring subject matter experts into the classroom to share their skillset with budding entrepreneurial thinkers. Opportunities are curriculum-aligned to ensure relevancy so that students can easily apply lessons and insights to their business concepts.
