The School of Business judges the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) Competition

Jeanine Pardy- Levine of the Manhattanville School of Education and Jean Mann of the Manhattanville School of Business had the honor of judging the Network for Teaching Entreprenurship (NFTE) Competition on May 27th at Westchester Community College. NFTE provides prgrams that inspire young people to learn the fundamentals of entrepreneurship and develop a business plan.

The Schools of Education and Business just launched a new M.Ed program in Education Entrepreneurship. The program is aimed at individuals with an entrepreneurial and creative bent who do not intend to be classroom teachers in the traditional mold, yet have a desire to improve education-focused institutions or be self-employed.

The program is designed for those interested in developing businesses related to education (tutoring, consulting, early childhood centers/day cares, preschools, learning centers, publishing) and in working in businesses, foundations, and non-profit organizations related to education. Those interested might be involved or want to be involved in program and curriculum design or delivery, training, program evaluation, fund raising, or policy analysis.

For more information on the M.Ed program see the program page

The first is the typical way a business gets started; a young entrepreneur comes up with an innovative idea, next is the creation of a prototype along with participating in a start-up boot camp. This then leads to small investors hopping on board; which leads to the creation of a Kickstarter. If everything works out and the product is successful it’s time for the founders to enter the haphazard mode called expansion. This usually translates to selling off the company piece by piece for huge chunks of money from venture capitalists.
