NFTE’s latest policy brief explores how entrepreneurship education can serve as a catalyst for rural revitalization—equipping students with the skills, confidence, and local context to turn insight into opportunity.
Drawing from NFTE classrooms in places like Gadsden County, Florida, as well as examples from the CAPS Network, the brief highlights how experiential, community-connected learning transforms students into innovators and civic contributors.
By embedding entrepreneurship education into rural systems, we can transform classrooms into engines of local problem-solving and renewal—ensuring that every young person, no matter how remote their hometown, has the opportunity to innovate, contribute, and lead.
