teachers : trade fair

The annual NFTE Trade Fair is an exciting one-day extravaganza held in London to celebrate the achievements of the young people that do the NFTE programme.

The aim of the Trade Fair is to get students trading and making money in a real environment.  NFTE is all about bringing business to life and the Trade Fair is the perfect opportunity to do that.  The event is a high energy day of buzz and excitement with high numbers of student businesses and activities.

There will be opportunities for students to meet successful entrepreneurs and get advice and tips, pitch their ideas and win money.  Students can also attend workshops on how to make their business a success and speed network with other NFTE students.
