Minnesota Business Venture

An Opportunity for High School Students to get a jumpstart on their career!

Best Prep's Minnesota Business Venture (MBV) is a fun, week-long residential camp designed to introduce high school students (grades 9-12) to a variety of careers available through firsthand experiences.  Students live on a college campus, meet business leaders, and listen to knowledgeable speakers from top Minnesota companies. Previous popular speakers and topics include: Walter Bond, former NBA player, David Clark, President of Yoplait ice cream, and Michael Keller, the CEO of Pearson’s Candy Company. MBV shows students how to apply knowledge of marketing, entrepreneurship, investing, leadership skills and much more to your life, school and future careers.  It also looks great on college/job applications and resumes.

The camp is held at St. Cloud State University (July 9-14) or St. John’s University (July 23-28.) The fee is only $150 ($200 after April 21^th), which includes room and board. Financial aid is available.   

The MBV application, brochure, a short video about MBV, and more information can be found on the Minnesota Business Venture program page at www.bestprep.org/mbvapp.
