Work with a team of your fellow WCC students to create and present solutions to real-life challenges from corporations, institutions and entrepreneurs! Limited to the first 100 students registered.
Solve It! is an entrepreneurial mindset challenge for WCC students. Entrepreneurial skills are needed to be a leader whether you own your own business or work in a corporation or institution to thrive and prosper in your career.
Local businesses presented challenges to students who, over a weeks' time, worked in teams to present solutions. Winning teams can win cash prizes sponsored by local businesses.
Good luck to all WCC student participants!
”Students who can take advantage of situations, who learn to market themselves, and who are willing to take risks become both successful in school as well as in the workforce.”
”According to research conducted by the World Economic Forum the top 10 skills most desired by employers are a laundry list of entrepreneurial competencies.”
