We are looking for interested professionals to sign up as industry consultants to be part of the action and challenge! NAAAP industry consultants will meet with students team on a pre-scheduled or on an as-needed-basis (in-person meetings, telephone and email).

WHAT IS E3?
— Entrepreneurship
— Empowerment
— Excellence
Since 2005, E3 Challenge has offered young adults with hands-on opportunities to develop business skills by channelling their enthusiasm and ambition towards excellence, teamwork and leadership development. E3 is modelled after Donald Trump's reality television series, The Apprentice, where participants come together in teams and compete against one another by presenting innovative solutions to real world business case challenges.
