Pennsylvania Free Enterprise Week

Pennsylvania Free Enterprise Week provides practical, hands-on education not found in any other business program for one week over the summer. Students are immersed a complex, week-long, college-level BizSim Competition where students become the management team of an underperforming manufacturing company in direct competition with other student companies. They uncover and manage all aspects of a company from production, to HR, finance, and communications.

Teams must also create an extensive marketing plan for their company. They determine their target audience and selling price, design product features, create print, broadcast and web advertising, and present their campaign to a panel of judges at week's end. Collaboration, teamwork, creativity, and innovation are the hallmarks of this competition.
