network for teaching entrepreneurship

fostering an
entrepreneurial spirit.

The Network For Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE, pronounced ‘nifty’) programme is designed to activate the entrepreneurial mindset and build business skills in youth, especially those from underserved backgrounds.

The programme culminates in the NFTE Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge (NYEC), with the top three students from each NFTE school pitching their business ideas to a panel of esteemed judges.

Project-based Learning approach

The Project-based Learning approach is a teaching method that gives students the opportunity to explore complex, real-world problems to learn concepts rather than through direct instruction. This allows students to take charge of their learning, resulting in a deeper understanding of the content.

Lean Canvas Model

The Lean Canvas Model facilitates students’ personal entrepreneurial journey, enhancing adaptability and ownership of their business ideas.

"I used to constantly doubt myself, thinking I would not achieve my goals, or that people would laugh at what I shared. The NFTE programme pushed me to step out of my comfort zone, helping me to discover my strengths and gain the confidence to share my thoughts. I’ve learned to persevere through hard times, even when I felt like giving up. I feel very honoured to hold this title, and I hope to learn more skills and gain more experience. I am deeply grateful to my facilitators for supporting me through this journey!"

"The NFTE experience challenged our students to explore creative and innovative ideas to combat modern-day problems. Through the one-year NFTE journey, our students developed critical thinking skills and gained the confidence to become effective communicators and problem solvers. We are proud that we can provide this platform for our students to shine."
