The National Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge, run by the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE), engages students from across the United States by encouraging them to develop business plans, then compete in regional challenges. Ultimately, the winners of the national competition receive a cash prize, and meet with President Obama.
“Credence is proud to support various nonprofit organizations that are focused on improving the future of underprivileged children and youth, and I am honored to be invited to take part in this event,” remarked Mr. Chowdhary.p>
The competition reveals the extraordinary power of entrepreneurship to teach students important life skills, to engage them in school, to make previously unimagined dreams come true, and even to change their destinies.
