N.J. Chamber Foundation’s Boot Camps Prepare H.S. Students for the Real World
At the weeklong "Business Simulation Boot Camps" in Hackensack and Millville in July, students broke into small teams and were asked to launch and manage their own companies in a competitive real-world situation. They needed to manage their companies and make decisions about budgeting, personnel, product design, manufacturing and sales. They also conducted exercises on the basics like shaking hands and looking the other person in the eye. At the end of the workshops, the student teams presented their product plans and defended their decisions to real business executives who served as judges.
