The pitch initiative reinforces what is being taught in the classroom while preparing students to pitch their business plans. In coordination with teacher, and local/regional sometimes national businesses the student business teams, will have the opportunity to pitch their business to a diverse group of business professionals. The judges will select the winner for continued iteration in class and a chance to be ultimate winners in the Global Business Capstone event - and a chance to visit a: national/global company that represents the ultimate in global business practices and environmental stewardship.
All for a chance to win cash prizes and a chance to participate in our Global Business Capstone events.
