Spend a week this summer at Minnesota Business Venture and you can learn more about careers, make contacts in the business community, and help prepare today s youth for tomorrow s workforce. Volunteers from Minnesota businesses guide participants through a variety of topics including marketing, business plans, entrepreneurship, competition and profits, and more. Participants also learn through interactive activities including a computerized business management simulation, a mock commodities exchange, and creation of a radio commercial.
Participants live on campus, and have use of college facilities throughout the week.
Time is available in the evening for recreation including volleyball, basketball, and a dance Thursday night. Cost for the week is kept low through sponsorships provided by businesses. Each participant receives a scholarship made possible by a corporation, foundation, or bank that covers the majority of on-campus and program costs.
