Opportunity Details

2023 NFTE West Road to Nationals Virtual Coaching

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. As students prepare for the NFTE National Entrepreneurship Challenge, connecting with a business professional to move their business concept and presentation forward is immeasurably valuable.

As a Road to Nationals Coach, you will be working with one of the West Regional winners that are preparing to head into the next stage of the competition: The National Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge. Students need your help perfecting their presentations, refining their pitches, and practicing their responses to possible questions from judges.
 
This opportunity is virtual.
