Selected as finalists in the mini-business contests!
The BUSINESS OPERATION students from 1st year of high school have participated in two mini-business competitions:
· Junior Achievement
· Young Entrepreneurs
In both competitions we have had projects selected, both in the Catalan final of Junior Achievement, and in the final of Jóvenes Emprendedores of the University of Nebrija (Madrid). In both contests, the 15 best projects have been selected from around 100 applications in each case, therefore, our CONGRATULATIONS!!!
HUMITECH has been a finalist in Junior Achievement and Jóvenes Emprendedores. MOBSAFE has been a finalist in Junior Achievement and DROP TO GROW and AGUA RUNNERS have been finalists in Nebrija.
Junior Achievement is a competition that offers an opportunity to develop creative thinking, communication skills, initiative, effort and commitment, as well as reinforce autonomy, motivation and the spirit of improvement.
On the other hand, Nebrija University, in collaboration with various companies and institutions, annually announces the Jóvenes Emprendedores Award, with the aim of promoting the entrepreneurial spirit among Baccalaureate and Professional Studies students.
Jóvenes Emprendedores is a contest that aims to give an opportunity to pre-university young people to show their entrepreneurial capacity, creativity, organization and enthusiasm through the definition and conceptualization of a business creation project.
Conceiving an idea, developing a business idea, evaluating investment alternatives, defending their proposal in front of a panel of experts... are some of the challenges that participants must overcome.
These competitions are excellent opportunities to grow academically and personally.
