Students are selected to form a company, chose a business name and elect a board to oversee the company for the program duration. The offices include: The Chairman of the Board (President//CEO), Director of Production, Marketing, Finance and Human resources. They create a company; raise capital by sales of shares; decide on what to produce; the market to sell their products; pay dividends to investors and use about 10 percent (10%) of their profit for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activity of their choice.
