3 Ways to Get Involved This Fall | Intuit + NACCE Partnership Offerings
Over the past few years, Intuit has teamed up with NACCE in two main ways:
Financial Management for Entrepreneurs (FMFE): To empower future entrepreneurs with the right financial management tools and skills required for long-term business success via our Financial Management for Entrepreneurs Curriculum Initiative. From 2018-2020, we reached seventeen community colleges across the nation and FMFE was incorporated into for-credit and non-credit courses reaching over 750 students. Over 70% of students who completed the post-tests shared that they felt confident in their ability to manage business finances and over 85% felt confident in their ability to manage their personal finances.
Design for Delight: In 2020, NACCE and Intuit partnered to train educators on how design for delight can be used to identify unsolved problems, gain empathy, run rapid experiments with actual customers, test assumptions, and iterate along the way. We hosted two trainings, co-developed an Intuit Design Thinking Innovator digital badge, and reached over 300 educators and more than 1,000 students. We had an estimated 32,000+ contact hours for teachers and students.
This fall, we are debuting some exciting partnership offerings. Take a look below and get involved today!
