The Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship Programme is a world recognised nonprofit, which helps young people to develop an entrepreneurial mindset and build up their startup skills.
Here in Ireland the programme is provided by Foróige who have adapted it to be used in an Irish context.
Since 2004, over 8,500 young Irish people have been involved in the initiative, which is currently delivered in 10 counties across Ireland.
On this week's Sunday Business Show Conall was joined in the studio by Caroline Cooke, Senior of the NFTE Programme.
Caroline was accompanied by Thomas Curtin and Dylan Moloney, whose business "Kone Kollector" recently won the NFTE international competition in New York.
