Business Boot Camp 2009
The Enterprise Center, 4548 Market Street,
August 3 – August 7, 2009 @ 9AM-5PM
Business Boot Camp engages 100 youth in five days of rigorous training in business, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy. Activities include motivational speakers, workshops, and group simulations. Attendees will leave with a wealth of contacts, new friendships, and inspiration to achieve great things in their schools and communities.
Business Boot Camp takes place during the first week in August at The Enterprise Center’s Business Event Center located at 4548 Market Street. Each day, local and national businesses of interest to our youth will provide speakers and activities which will focus on topics of importance to successful entrepreneurship:
* Vision: Seeing opportunities where others do not and capitalizing on them.
* Networking: Building strategic partnerships to ensure greater success.
* Sales & Marketing: Effectively selling yourself, your products, and your ideas.
* Technology: Being technologically equipped to do business in the next millennium.
* Giving Back: Investing in the personal and commercial well-being of your community.
To tie these topics together, youth teams will be assigned to research 3 businesses during the week, to learn about their operations and industry, and to offer suggestions for the company’s future plans. These findings and recommendations will be distributed to each of the businesses. Business Boot Camp is open to all interested 9th, 10th, 11th, and rising 12th grade youth.
