Business Challenge is a unique opportunity for students and educators to learn about, and experience first-hand, real-life applications of business and entrepreneurship ideas. Business leaders from across the state share their expertise and knowledge with students as they lead discussion groups, teach strategies, and facilitate business simulations. Students and educators actually form mock companies complete with a marketing plan and business activities. Business Challenge builds a bridge between business and education. This bridge is needed to help prepare our future workforce, create tomorrow’s leaders, and gain better knowledge of North Dakota’s economy and career opportunities.
