High school students will have the opportunity to "feed the sharks" during Western Dakota Tech's Future Business Professionals Day career exploration camp, Tuesday, Feb. 27. The one-day camp will take place from 8:30 a.m.
The camp is free and open to all high school students. Students will explore Western Dakota Tech's Business-related programs such as Accounting, Bookkeeping, Business & Technology, Entrepreneurship, Office Professional, Social Media Marketing, Library Science, and additional career paths.
Students will attend three group sessions focusing on financial skills, marketing skills, and sales skills. Participants will learn about networking and entrepreneurship, attend an etiquette luncheon, become familiar with Photoshop, design a company logo and business plan, and then present their ideas to the "sharks". Presenting to "sharks" is a concept based off the ABC reality television series Shark Tank. Contestants on Shark Tank pitch entrepreneurial ideas to venture capitalists who can then choose to invest.
Students are encouraged to register now for Future Professionals Day, as space is limited, at https://www.wdt.edu/future-students/career-exploration-camps. For more information, call Janelle Locke, Admissions Counselor, at (605) 718-2434 or email her at Janelle.Locke@wdt.edu.
