Business Today is a one-semester curriculum that provides high school students with an in-depth look at business ownership. Using a real-world approach, students learn the stages of a business start-up and are prepared with a working business plan to begin an entrepreneurial venture — not “someday,” but today.

Business Today is aligned with the national standards for entrepreneurship courses published by the National Business Education Association (NBEA), as well as the Consortium for Entrepreneurship Education (Columbus, OH).
