MSBSD Matsu Business Week  

MSBSD is hosting Matsu Business Week for students in the valley this summer. The program will be held May 22^nd – May 26^th at Wasilla High School and will be open to students and youth currently in grades 7 – 12.

Alaska Business Week (ABW) is a fun, intensive entrepreneurship experience for Alaska middle and high school students. ABW runs one-week programs teaching Alaskan students the basics of business, leadership, and entrepreneurship. ABW students are the creators and innovators for Alaska’s next generation of products and companies. Participants compete as teams in a dynamic business simulation with the guidance of adult mentors from the business community. After completing the program, students have a competitive edge on workplace readiness, college preparation, and overall life success. ABW gives participants the tools they will need to succeed after their high school graduation. Registration is free and students who complete the week-long program will earn 1.0 college credits.
