Programs and Projects:
Trumped
Fashioned after the famous TV show the Apprentice, this competition engages students in business tasks which will improve their business skills. Nineteen teams of four members entered the competition, but after three stages of tasks only one teams remained standing. Examples of tasks included fundraising $19,000 for the Breast Cancer Society and Cancer Association, helping a new internet business start-up, and planning & presenting a $100,000 event to Molson executives.
Community Involvement:
This year ACE worked with Junior Achievement to teach students at Gorsebrook Junior High and St. Agnes the economics of staying in school. It is a well known fact that increased education provides Canadians with the ability to make a higher income in the future.
