Entrepreneurship Challenge

CATEC has developed an Entrepreneurship program to better prepare students for the economy they will soon enter.   This year we started with 268 students in the program.  After eight sessions with their Entrepreneurship instructor, the students were required to select a business concept that solved a need in the community.  They conducted a feasibility study, then analyzed whether their business concept could be successful as designed or would need to be altered to succeed.  These studies were evaluated and 27.5% of the students qualified to participate in the 2nd annual CATEC Entrepreneurship Challenge where they researched further and made adjustments to their original concept.  On Wednesday, May 12th twelve of those students presented their business ideas to a panel of judges consisting of community leaders, in the hopes of winning a cash prize.  The judges chose the following three students as the winners of the 2010 Entrepreneur Challenge:

Paul Norford ($200)
Nick Harris ($100)
Jessica Boling ($100)

Rotary Club of Charlottesville’s Student Recognition
  
CATEC wants to congratulate Kelly Harris, a junior from Albemarle High School, and Riqueau Tyler, a junior from Charlottesville High School, as this year’s CATEC recipients of the Rotary Club of Charlottesville’s Student Recognition. 
 On Tuesday, March 23, 2010, the Rotary Club held their Recognition Program for the 2009-10 academic year.  The Rotary generously treated the students to dinner. The purpose of the event is to recognize local high school students who demonstrate the ideals of the Rotary for outstanding achievements in academics, athletics, or community service. In addition, the Rotary Club wants to inform the students about the opportunities which the Club, District 7610, and Rotary International provide, including ambassadorial scholarships, speech and essay writing contests, and other academic scholarships.
