Local students to learn about the real world of business
Madison – Over 100 Wisconsin students will participate in this year’s Business World program at St. Norbert College in De Pere June 19 – 22. In its 35 years as a WMC Foundation initiative, Business World has educated more than 14,000 students from across the state. Sponsored by the business community of Wisconsin, Business World provides a hands-on experience for students and teaches them about the challenges facing business.
During the Business World first-year program, student participants will be divided into teams of 10-12, who function as a fictional “company” for the program. With the task of turning their company into a financial success, they will create a unique product, develop marketing strategies, and design a commercial. In addition, students interact with guest speakers, tour local companies and compete in an online business simulation.
Business World also provides a more advanced session for students who have successfully completed the first-year program. Students in the advanced program focus on the bigger picture of business including marketing and ethics in addition to serving as mentors for the first year students.
Both first-year and second-year programs focus on career preparation and workplace skills which includes workshops, interesting speakers, and tours, allowing the students to explore career and education options available in Wisconsin. It is these opportunities that help students prepare for their future in an increasingly competitive global marketplace.
Business World is sponsored, developed, and produced by the WMC Foundation, the educational division of Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce. It is supported by donations from corporations, foundations, and individuals who believe the next generation of leaders should have a clear understanding of the real world of business and the importance of the free market system in which we live.
