Connect Virtually
COVID-19 has shut down many opportunities students previously had for visiting, learning about, and connecting with colleges. NACAC aims to bridge that gap through these special one-day events.
At each virtual fair, students attend college presentations, learn about their options, ask questions and demonstrate interest... all without leaving home.
Please share this short how-to video with students and encourage them to sign up at virtualcollegefairs.org well before each fair date.

Washington Business Week -- 2021 Virtual Programs for Students

Our Summer 2021 Programs are Virtual

Washington Business Week places students in a dynamic simulation where they role play as industry professionals, launch a company, sharpen their communication skills, and solve real-world challenges.

Students take the lead as their team races against the clock to develop a world-changing idea and pitch it to potential investors at the end-of-week competition. Guided by a mentor from a local business, students learn to work as a team, explore careers, build a network with professionals and future leaders.

Each day students and their companies dive into a real-world business simulation in the career pathway they’ve chosen. Students make “real life” decisions as a team and participate in interactive projects with other teen companies. Business leaders from around the state share their experiences and challenges, and provide valuable insight and direction as they mentor the teams.
