Students Compete for Junior Achievement Scholarship

From Heidi Coghlan, About.com GuideOctober 30, 2007

Students from around Western Illinois recently spent a day marketing their new product, the Holo-Generator. OK, so it's fictitious and their marketplace was a computer simulated environment, but the strategies, skills and lessons involved are real. It's part of Junior Achievement, a program that teaches students business skills.

Top teams from the area will compete at the Junior Achievement Titan Competition in Moline in November. The prize is $8000 in scholarship money.
