Business Boot Camp

Business Boot Camp is an intensive five-day business and entrepreneurship training program for rising tenth, eleventh, and twelfth graders from the Greater Philadelphia region. Since its inception in the summer of 1997, the program has given many youth their first exposure to business mentors, technology training, and a professional environment. Every year, students participate in sessions that focus on five core components of business education: vision, sales, networking, technology, and giving back.
