UBCC: Pennsylvania Free Enterprise Week
Upper Bucks County Chamber of Commerce hosted a special breakfast meeting on October 1st at the Spinnerstown Hotel, Quakertown.
John Trombetta, President/CEO, Pennsylvania Free Enterprise Week (PFEW) and some of this year’s UBCC PFEW Scholarship recipients shared their PFEW experience with a group of Chamber members.
PFEW is a one-of-a-kind summer program that offers in-coming high school juniors and seniors a unique and challenging opportunity to see what it is like to run their own business. Participants create an “imaginary” management team where they learn first-hand about the Free Enterprise System. Their task—turn their failing company into a financial success! They develop their own marketing strategies, design a website and in essence, make all of the decisions that are demanded of real life company executives. All work and no fun—NO WAY! PFEW provides students with a chance like no other—to experience what it is like to live on a college campus.
UBCC Annual Foodie event as well as individual Chamber members sponsored 11 student this past summer.
