Let's Get to Business!

The Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) chapter at Southwest Minnesota State University is offering a train-the-trainer opportunity for area high schools. SIFE members will teach high school students how to present the seven modules of the Let's Get to Business curriculum to students in 6-8 grade. Let's Get to Business teaches business concepts including entrepreneurship, business plans, advertising, and sales. High school students who have taken the training will be charged with getting the information out to younger students in their school districts. Classes who participate will have the opportunity to start their own companies and see first-hand how the concepts work.

Any schools interetsed in participating can contact Nick Dale at nicholas.dale@smsu.edu
