Malverne High School students from the school’s Virtual Enterprise classes recently attended the VE Leadership Conference at LIU Post. Student entrepreneurs from across Long Island come together at this event to collaborate, network and strengthen their business and leadership skills.
During the conference, Malverne VE firms Guarded Jewels and OwlWatch had the opportunity to deliver its elevator pitch in breakout sessions with other student-run companies, gaining valuable feedback and insights into effective business communication and presentation from peers.
Virtual Enterprises is an international, yearlong business simulation program that transforms students into business professionals. Participanting students create and manage every aspect of a virtual company, from developing business plans and marketing strategies to overseeing finances and human resources. The students take on the function of a real-word business environment. Through the hands-on experience, students cultivate essential skills in entrepreneurship, critical thinking, collaboration and leadership.
Both Guarded Jewels and OwlWatch have social media platforms on Instagram, where they share updates about their products, company progress and upcoming events.
