Saturday marked the end of a summer program aimed at building future business
leaders and entrepreneurs. 40 minority
junior in high school students graduated
from the future business leaders and
entrepreneurs
summer program. It was held at the
Rochester Institute of Technology
for 10 weeks the students were from the
Rochester City School District and they
had to come up with practical and
cost-effective solutions to business challenges.
Director>> These students see
what they're doing in school as
academic. An academic exercise... so what
we're trying to show them is that
we can actually integrate
real-world problems into
their normal everyday academic life.
The program started in 2009 to help local
youth develop their leadership skills.
