Eastview High School students at MBV
Minnesota Business Venture (MBV) students are receiving press coverage in local newspapers across the state. We’ve seen more than twenty articles published highlighting the unique opportunity students took part in during their summer vacation that has given them a leg up as they return to school and prepare for jobs or post-secondary education.
This summer, 324 high school students representing 100 schools came together for a week-long camp to learn more about leadership, business, financial literacy, and career options.
