What I did over my summer vacation
Who says learning about business can’t be fun?
The folks over at DeGroote School of Business believe they may have just the right mix of business and pleasure – at their summer camp programs beginning later this month. There are streams for students both in grades 7 to 12 (the 3rd year being offered) & university students (new this summer).
High school students get a real-world introduction to business practices, learn life skills for success – that will likely lead to a heightened interest in pursuing post-secondary studies. Activities like interviewing successfully, managing money, negotiating conflict, developing business and marketing plans. All this on campus - with the option of getting a taste of campus life by ‘camping out’ in residence.
University students get a taste of certain courses they will take in following school year - through project work that may be similar but in a camp environment.
Degroote is serious about cultivating marketing talent. The School’s Top Ad Exec annual competition is a resounding success and a springboard for students looking to make their careers in marketing and advertising.
Imagine what this summer camp might mean to high school students?
