Students from nine Greater Sudbury high schools learned marketing, entrepreneurship, accounting and finance and business management, while given a chance to earn a $1,000 scholarship<\/p>\n
Roughly 250 students from nine local high schools had to Level Up to get down to business at Cambrian College recently.<\/p>\n
The students were on campus earlier in May for Level Up: Business @ Cambrian, powered by the Douglas A. Smith Family School of Business. The event provided students with an opportunity to experience the world of business.<\/p>\n
The students attended four different workshops on the topics of marketing, entrepreneurship, accounting and finance and business management.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe labour market for this generation is going to be quite different from the one experienced by\u00a0their parents, and they may have to be a lot more business-savvy and entrepreneurial as opposed to working at one employer for life,\u201d said Jill Ferguson, the Dean of the Douglas A. Smith Family School of Business at Cambrian, in a press release.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Level Up event provided students with a taste of the knowledge and skills they may need in the future to thrive, regardless of what career they pursue.\u201d<\/p>\n
Level Up also included five $1,000 scholarships, donated by KPMG, to attend one of Cambrian\u2019s business programs. One of the students winning a scholarship is Avianna Dodd-Taylor, a Grade 10 student at Lively District Secondary School.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt feels amazing to win this scholarship,\u201d said Taylor. \u201cI would like to pursue my own business one day, even though I still have to figure out what that would be, and this scholarship would sure help.\u201d<\/p>\n
