hands-on learning
Coaches: Bridging Theory and Practice
- A cornerstone of our NEST Program is our Coaches and Mentors who guide, support, and inspire.
- Our Coaches who open their business to our students are dedicated to preparing the next generation of business leaders, empowering them to approach challenges with creativity, resilience, and a forward-thinking mindset.
- Coaches are the bridge between theory and practice, turning classroom knowledge into actionable skills. They empower students to apply what they’ve learned in real-world settings, fostering a deeper understanding of business dynamics and cultivating the confidence needed to take bold steps in their own entrepreneurial endeavors.
- With the guidance of our coaches, NESBA USA students are not only learning about entrepreneurship—they are living it.
