If you see one of our students, come say hi! For some of them, this is their very first conference, such an exceptional experience for educating the next generation! Our students will especially be at the Prayer Breakfast on February 24th at 7:30 a.m., hosted by FranFaith.

They would love to meet you face-to-face, learn about your company, and connect. You never know, one of these students could be your next franchisee or employee!

Here is a testimony from Andrew Alfano, Chief Executive Officer of Retro Fitness.

Andrew has generously hosted many of our students, and each experience has been incredibly impactful. We are deeply grateful for leaders like him who invest their time, mentorship, and trust into the next generation.
Opportunities like these allow our students to grow, learn, and make a real impact in the communities around them, and we don’t take that lightly. Thank you, Andrew, for hosting an intern and helping shape future franchise leaders.

We are still actively seeking internship opportunities for our franchising students. Even if you are located in another state, remote internships are welcome and greatly appreciated. Thank you to all the companies and leaders who continue to support and invest in our franchising students, we couldn’t do this without you.
