Washington Business Week

Washington Business Week is a business education program catering to high school students, initiated by AWB (Association of Washington Business) and the Foundation for Private Enterprise Education in 1976. The program annually takes place on university campuses and designated high school districts in Washington State, and even internationally in Poland. Students engage in a hands-on educational model, learning about business and entrepreneurial skills, as well as developing essential life skills. The experience prepares them to pursue academic knowledge and careers aligned with their passions and talents and fosters lifelong friendships that support their ongoing education and professional development. Moreover, business representatives coaching the program's student-led teams gain insights into working with the next generation of business leaders while expanding their own professional development and leadership skills. The initiative also facilitates lasting connections between business leaders. For more information, visit their website at www.wbw.org.
