Player Engagement’s long-running Business Management & Entrepreneurial Program is back in 2015 with a high-tech twist. Taking place at the Wharton School of Business’s San Francisco, CA campus, this year’s program will provide business education with a focus on technology companies and start-ups.
Open to current and former players, the BM&E Program will provide participants with business training from Wharton faculty and insight into how these business concepts apply in the tech/start-up industry through hands-on work with Silicon Valley professionals. NFL players who have transitioned into the technology and start-up space will provide coaching and mentoring based on their experience. Participants will also go on a site-visit to a start-up to learn first-hand how these innovative businesses operate. This is a great program if you’re interested in the technology space or want to build your business acumen more generally.
