CEOs Needed for Classroom Participation |
|
This past fall, the Business Education Network (BEN) began presenting CEO in the Classroom. Once these presentations were launched, we realized the students needed more information about businesses. We are coming back to ask businesses to create a 20 minute presentation about what your business does on a daily basis, what type of education was needed for your role, and basic skills that help make your job easier (social skills, organizational skills, etc.). If this is something your business would like to create and present on either April 13th or 14th, please contact Jennifer Lindquist at bencoordinator@willmarareachamber.com. |
