Do you know any young entrepreneurs and inventors who are itching to earn money and show the world what they can do? If so, the First Ventures Business Fair may be just the boost they need.

This school-day event will offer expert advice for teens to turn odd jobs into real businesses, now and in the future. Attendees will explore the exciting and challenging world of entrepreneurship. Using Business Passports they’ll receive at the event, the students will learn about the ins and outs of popular youth businesses. Local business experts will be available to offer technical support as well as basic management and financial tips. First Ventures participants will be eligible to win items from local businesses and vote for the best business pitch by select high school teams.

This program is made possible through the generous support of Merchant's Bank and other local businesses and individuals. Contact us for registration details and to learn how you can support these future entrepreneurs at 608.785.8648 or cei@uwlax.edu.
