Business Plan Challenge

The Business Plan Challenge is a program designed to expose secondary school students to the skills necessary to be an entrepreneur and to develop these skills through the creation of the most essential document, the business plan. Throughout the course of a semester, students will create a complete business plan for a new venture and submit it to the Challenge. The top business plan creators will be rewarded with cash bursaries and prizes for their entrepreneurial efforts.
