business@school

business@schoolAn educational initiative of The Boston Consulting Group (BCG), business@school gives high school students the opportunity to experience for themselves how business works over the course of one school year.

Getting involvedEvery year, around 90 schools in Germany, other European countries, and the U.S. participate in business@school. Coaches from partner companies enrich the project by bringing their business expertise to schools.

The conceptParticipating students learn how business works over three phases, the last of which is the development of their own business idea. In the process, they also learn soft skills that prepare them for life after school.
