NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – High school students in Nashville are getting the opportunity to gain hands-on experience operating a small business.
Students at McGavock High will be operating Raider Bites, the school’s new student-led food truck.
The food truck, unveiled on Wednesday, was provided through a partnership with Intuit. It’s equipped with a commercial-grade kitchen, the truck will support Career and Technical Education students as they develop the skills needed to run a business.
“The Intuit food truck program is more than just a vehicle; it’s a mobile classroom designed to equip students with real-world skills that translate directly into future careers and business ownership,” said Dave Zasada, Vice President at Intuit. “By integrating financial literacy and entrepreneurship education into hands-on experiences, we are preparing students for success beyond high school.”
Culinary students will manage Raider Bites under Chef Jeannine Nava.
“This is an amazing opportunity for McGavock Culinary Arts students and the school community as a whole,” said McGavock Executive Principal Bruce Jackson. “Relevant experiences combined with real world application equals growth and impactful change in the lives of our young people.”
