Summer Programs
Students experience college life, as WBW summer camps run on campuses throughout the state. Students learn key career and life skills, while forging lifelong friendships, having fun, and earning two college credits.
Students come back to school with skills that benefit them in the classroom, in their DECA/FBLA competitions, and most importantly, in their careers.
In-School
Communities come together to give an entire grade the opportunity to connect with and learn from local business leaders while learning skills that students will use for the rest of their careers.
In-school programs help schools fulfill work based learning requirements by exposing students to career and education pathways, while teaching them 21st century skills.
Students Running Businesses, Learning Life Skills
Students take the lead as their team races against the clock to develop a world-changing idea and present it to potential investors at the end-of-week Trade Show and Stockholders Presentations.
Guided by a mentor from the professional sector, students work as a team, explore careers, build a network with professionals and future leaders.
Washington Business Week’s programs take place in the form of overnight and day summer camps or in-school programs where WBW takes over a week of school for an entire grade level in a school or district.
