What’s included

Food trucks & mobile carts

The Intuit Food Truck Program is expanding! Districts can now apply for a new fully equipped food truck, rebranding and program support if they already own and operate a food truck, or a mobile cart option for schools that prefer a smaller, more adaptable model.

Program curriculum

School districts gain access to a comprehensive entrepreneurial curriculum that provides teachers with step-by-step modules and resources to support students in running their business. Plus, join ongoing entrepreneurial programs that supplement the curriculum.

Access to real-world tools

Students and educators get free access to Intuit tools, including QuickBooks Online, Mailchimp resources, and GoPayment. This allows students to gain real-world experience managing their food truck business. They'll also build job-ready skills and earn certifications, such as Design for Delight and QuickBooks.
