International Virtual Business
International Virtual Business is a
one-year program for students interested in the exciting and ever-changing
worlds of business, free enterprise and entrepreneurship. By creating and
operating their own model business, students experience all facets of
running a successful firm, including product development, production and
distribution; administration; accounting and finance; human resources;
marketing and sales; and purchasing.
Students also learn from local businesspersons who serve as advisors to each
student business team. International Virtual Business students connect with
their peers from around the state, country and world and participate in an
annual Virtual Enterprise competition and conference.
Students may earn credit for economics and integrated English, and college
credit through articulation agreements.
Upon
completion, students may enter
college or the workforce. Information is available at
