Mini Business World
This is an annual business entrepreneurial simulation game for high school juniors and seniors from 7 area school districts.
The one-day program, held at NWTC, Marinette Campus, gives students a taste of what it is like to run a large business. Students learn about financing, accounting, production schedules, marketing, human resources, and other challenges faced when running a business. Business ethics and environmental stewardship are emphasized through presentations and skits, led by a business advisor volunteering from within the community. Each year, the program serves 30-36 students.
