Titan Business Challenge to take place at UMass Dartmouth March 10

NEW BEDFORD - Bristol County Savings Bank will again act as the title sponsor for the seventh annual Junior Achievement Titan Business Challenge.

Hosted in partnership with UMass Dartmouth, the Titan Business Challenge is a business strategy competition in which over 200 local high school students from schools across the region have the opportunity to participate in a hands-on and dynamic learning experience, hear from some of the region’s top business leaders and compete for scholarship awards that can help make a higher education possible.

The event will take place at UMass Dartmouth on Tuesday, March 10.

During the Titan Business Challenge, local high school students compete for scholarships while gaining essential knowledge about the world of business, at no cost to the students or their high schools. In addition to developing budgets and interpreting financial reports, students can expect to increase their knowledge of pricing, production, capital investments, R&D, marketing and charitable giving.

Junior Achievement is looking for additional corporate sponsors and volunteers for this year’s event. For more information, contact Nicole Nault, Junior Achievement’s Events and Development Manager at nicole.nault@ja.org.
