Do you ever wonder how MTV makes money, how Clinique markets its products or how Coke and Pepsi compete to be the most popular soda company in the world? Discover the answers to these questions and much more! If you’re interested in starting a business of your own or learning about business, Camp $tart-Up introduces you to the skills you’ll need. You’ll learn about operations, marketing, finance, planning, research and networking. The Johnson School at Cornell University has teamed up with Independent Means, Inc., the leading provider of education for girls’ financial independence, to offer this exciting program. The seventh annual Camp $tart-Up takes place June 21-28, 2008, as an interactive business and leadership training experience for young women ages 13 to 19. The most effective way to increase the pool of qualified women for business education, and ultimately in business itself, is to reach women at a younger age and to teach them fundamental business and leadership concepts— and this program is designed to do just that! Last summer, Camp $tart-Up gave 30 young women an opportunity to develop skills in several key business areas, including entrepreneurship, finance and marketing. If you or someone you know has a vested interest in achieving business careers and entrepreneurial ventures, consider sponsoring a camper, donating to the camp or inviting a young woman to complete an application to attend Camp $tart-Up. Get started on the path to success.
