About Rutgers FBLA
Future Business Leaders of America provides all students of every background opportunities to be part of our community and take part in our activities, events, and meetings with other career-driven people. We are a nonprofit 501(c)(3) education organization with a quarter million students nationally preparing for careers in business and business-related fields.

Use this year to gain the skills you need to be successful and grow within our club. Join a committee to get more involved and help build your resume!
SOPHOMORES: Fine-tune the skills that you already have, and practice introductory speeches! Also, receive feedback on professional dress and basic strategies for getting the most out of upcoming careers fairs! Use your knowledge and experiences to help refine your developing skills and improve yourself to be the best you can be.
