More than 80 area high school students, assisted by more than 20 community volunteers, will participate in the Junior Achievement Titan Business Challenge at Davenport University's Saginaw campus from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday.
"Davenport University is proud to present this fun and educational event for Saginaw Bay Area students," said Denise Sherman, campus director of Davenport's Saginaw campus. "The missions of Junior Achievement and Davenport are very similar in that we both focus on preparing individuals to excel in the knowledge-driven environment of the 21st century."
The JA Titan Business Challenge is a business strategy tournament that pairs area youths with representatives from local businesses. Using the "Titan Program," an online business simulation, JA runs each team through a gauntlet of real-world situations faced by businesses today. The competition is designed to unleash creativity, challenge leadership capabilities and demonstrate the competitive nature of the free enterprise system.
