ACUITY-JA Business Challenge

Junior Achievement of Wisconsin Inc. is gearing up for its 10th annual Acuity JA-Business Challenge, which will be held Saturday, March 6, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Acuity in Sheboygan.

Teams of local students will compete in the event. The challenge allows students to become CEOs for the day through a hands-on computer-simulated business strategy tournament. Teams of two high school students will pair up with an area business leader for the competition, giving students a first-hand look at running a business in the real world. Teams must make their own business decisions regarding product pricing, marketing strategies, inventory levels, and research and development investments.

Winning teams will receive scholarships, with the top teams advancing to the Junior Achievement of Wisconsin Statewide Business Challenge in April. Registration is open until Feb. 5. To register, go to http://sheboygancounty.ja.org. For more information, please call (920) 458-0007.
