My Project
All of the kids in this program have expressed an interest in a business related career in the future. They applied and were accepted into the Academy of Business and Finance. Their sophomore year they study business, marketing and finance. The sophomores will control the marketing of the "Ram City Market". For their Junior year they will become entrepneurs. The future plans for this market is to sell school related items. This year however we will focus on tshirts. The students will purchase the inventory, set prices, create the products, sell the products, monitor the inventory and calculate the gains and losses. Hopefully they will be able to learn to read the trends and maintain and expand the store.
This will give them experience and knowledge about entrepneurship and business management.
Their Senior year focuses on Finance. The Seniors study business and personal finance. They conduct free workshops for their peers and community on how to manage finances. This heat press and shirts will be the first step of Ram City Market. With the funds they would like to attend a DECA conference where they will meet high school business leaders from all over to share ideas.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
