Secondary School program (years 9 to 12)
For years 9, 10, 11 and 12, our enterprise education program engages your ‘emerging adults’ into a virtual world of business for a week. They can taste a real world adult experience and learn vital business, workplace and life skills at the same time. An entire year, or a single class can undertake our program.
The program
Participants form teams of 4-10 and assume management roles to run a virtual company, making important business decisions as they compete against other participating teams. The program usually replaces the regular curriculum for a week, but can be extended if required, allowing students to immerse themselves in the experience for maximum learning potential. It’s also great fun!
A minimum of 40 students is suggested however, when 60 or more participate, it generates a larger number of companies and increases the competitive spirit.
