At our August 22nd club meeting, Achintya Saxena, a senior in the Finance and International Business Academy at the Morris County School of Technology, spoke to our members about the "Business BootCamp" program. Business BootCamp's mission statement is “Business BootCamp seeks to educate and inspire an interest in business studies for all ages.” Through the program, the creators intend to do just that and teach 6th-8th graders crucial business skills and 9th-10th graders other career development skills. They believe that these skills would be extremely helpful to students who attend schools that don't traditionally have business exposure and hope that the program will help middle and high schoolers find a passion in business, which could translate to their future career. The business curriculum is detailed on their website, https://www.businessbootcamp101.org, and their career development lessons include interview skills and resume writing skills. In addition, the Board of Directors consists of former industry professionals with real-world experience who are helping model the curriculum into something that can be of value to anyone, no matter what type of job they pursue.
On Wednesday, September 26, 2018, we will be having the annual District Governor's visit and the opportunity to hear our new DG John Wilson's plans for District 7475 this year.
