With several business idea brainstorming classes under their belts, these students are well on their way to launching their own enterprises. Soon, they will be turning their ideas into a business plan, pitching that business plan to a panel of investors, and debuting those businesses at a Trade Show!
When these students graduate in May, they won’t just be the CEO’s of their own companies, but they’ll also walk away with the essential skills that are necessary to be successful in today’s workforce climate. With the help of our expert business guest speakers and field trip hosts, our YEA! students will learn the importance of professionalism, teamwork, self-management, and critical thinking, while also getting to explore unique career paths along the way.
By the end of the program, these students will be well equipped to be successful in all of their future ventures.
Thank you to our YEA! Class of 2021 Sponsors for helping us develop the Grand Valley’s future CEOs and leaders!
