Nearly 100 Wisconsin students will participate in this year's Business World program at St. Norbert College in De Pere June 20 – 23. Celebrating its 29th anniversary, Business World provides hands-on business experience for students and teaches them about the challenges facing business. The program is sponsored, developed and delivered by the business community of Wisconsin, and since its inception, has educated nearly 14,000 high school students from across the state. This year, three students from Calumet County will be in attendance: • Abby Bigelow, Kaukauna High School • Nicole Cohen, Brillion High School • Dominic Heus, Hilbert High School Student participants are divided into teams of 10-12, who function as an imaginary "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. The hands-on activities focus on career preparation and workplace skills for success. The program also includes workshops, interesting speakers, and tours, allowing the students to explore career and education options available here in Wisconsin. It is an opportunity that will enable students to 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 and 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.
