Nebraska Career and Technical Education Conference 2026

The concept of school-based enterprises has become a hot topic, but many teachers find themselves with lots of questions. How do I get started? Where do I get funding? What does this look like within my agriculture education program? This session will introduce you to the Nebraska FFA Launch! Program sponsored by the Nebraska FFA Foundation and facilitated by the Engler Agribusiness Entrepreneurship Program at UNL. The Launch! Program is designed to help teams of high school students ideate, plan, launch, build, and grow their own school-based enterprises. Learners in this session will understand the program outline, schedule, and experience a few of the curriculum activities.
