Strategic Growth Plan
NFTE Los Angeles is currently serving only a small fraction of its potential market. We are currently studying the potential for significant growth in our market. A winter/spring associate will be charged with assessing the landscape, devising a growth strategy and working with subcommittees and NFTE LA leadership to advance the strategic growth plan by building on the fundamentals of our year one work.
Research Initiatives
NFTE Los Angeles is embarking on an ambitious plan to capture our impact on the students who participate in the NFTE program. A fall associate will be charged with mapping a short-term and a long-range plan for our research initiatives, assessing costs, outreaching to partners and key stakeholders and planning the rollout of this project.
Alumni Program Development
NFTE Greater LA has served over 5,000 students in Los Angeles with our award-winning entrepreneurship education program. We launched a pilot alumni program last March but have not had the resources to continue to provide ongoing support our alumni. A winter/spring associate will be charged with assessing the pilot and helping to build a long-term plan, assessing costs and outreaching to partners and key stakeholders to plan the rollout of this project.
