Network For Teaching Entrepreneurship
The Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (Originally National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship), also referred to as ''NFTE'' (pronounced ''Nifty''), is an international non-profit organization providing entrepreneurship training and education programs to young people from low-income urban communities.
Through the organization's patented entrepreneurship education, NFTE helps young people build entrepreneurial creativity and skills. Since 1987, NFTE has reached more than 500,000 young people, and currently has programs in 18 states and 10 countries.〔Young Entrepreneur Council. 2012. ''Fix Young America: How to Rebuild Our Economy and Put Young Americans Back to Work''. Advantage Media Group, p. 112.〕
NFTE provides a highly academic programs, working with established universities such as Columbia University and University of Pennsylvania, in order to attempt to inspire young adults to recognize opportunity and plan for successful futures, by pursuing educational opportunities and by encouraging starting their own businesses.〔(A Youth Entrepreneurship Program Goes International By JESSICA BRUDER ) The New York Times, 2012〕〔(Wharton University of Pennsylvania Entrepreneurship program ) UPenn.edu, 2010〕
==History==
Founded in 1987 by business executive and entrepreneur Steve Mariotti, while he was a public high school teacher in New York City’s South Bronx, NFTE was started up as a program to prevent high school dropout and improve academic performance among at-risk urban students. Combining his business background with his desire to teach at-risk students, Mariotti developed his concept based on the theory that low-income youth when given an opportunity in entrepreneurship, can employ their innate “street smarts” to develop “academic smarts” and “business smarts.” 〔(NFTE Celebrates 10 Years by Wendy Gordon ) ''The Baltimore Times, 2011〕
