WORK THE ROOM 

Networking is an essential skill to develop! In this round, students mingle with professionals as if they are at a business gathering. They must introduce themselves and engage with the attendees. The professionals score students on eye contact, handshakes, and poise at the event. Students only have 30 minutes to cover the entire room. Top students will move on to Round 2!  Can you help? 

LIGHTNING ROUND

Remaining students from Round 1 engage in one-on-one speed questions from a group of local business leaders seated in a round-robin fashion.  Each judge will be supplied with a question.  Students are judged on their eye contact, handshake, common sense, confidence, and more.  Can you help?
