Sixth Annual Business Competition
Selkirk College Business Administration students competed against one another at the sixth annual Business Competition held at the Castlegar campus on Thursday, March 31, 2011.
The Marketing Competition gave first-year students a taste of working on a live business project. They provided West Kootenay Habitat for Humanity with fundraising and awareness campaigns for a housing project about to start in Castlegar.
Second-year students strove for the best business case analysis for Roger’s Chocolates. Working in teams, students prepared campaigns and business solutions ahead of time and gave 15 minute presentations to a panel of judges on the day of the event. Their business case presentation was followed up with a surprise problem affecting the company for which the student teams had only 45 minutes to prepare a solution and presentation for.
Leaders from the local business community served as judges for the competition.
