What is a NFTE Licnesed Partner?
In order to continue growing outside of our core operating areas, NFTE licenses our programs to established non-profit organizations, educational institutions, and government agencies that share our mission of teaching entrepreneurship to young people from low-income communities. Licensed Partners are responsible for raising funds and recruiting program sites in their region while meeting our rigorous program standards. Partners are supported by NFTE through ongoing technical assistance, professional development activities for partner staff and teachers, and our national awards program for students and teachers.
