From Genesee Community College:
Students work in teams to explore and expand their entrepreneurial spirit and business sense, from the inception of a business idea to a comprehensive business and marketing plan. Every person who enters the fair receives $10,000 on a virtual credit card to spend what they think is most enticing opportunitiy among the 30 exhibited virtual businesses. At the end of the day, the new companies will deposit all the virtual income they receive into their virtual bank accounts and the one with the most receipts will be declared the winner.
The Virtual Enterprise Trade Fair is held in conjunction with the College Tech Prep program, which provides technical preparation for employment, college, careers, and continuing education through real world work experience. More than 30 different organizations are partners in the Genesee Region College Tech Prep Consortium, creating dynamic opportunities for students to explore a wide range of careers.
