Business Horizons (BH) is a week-long experience, sponsored by the Iowa Association of Business and Industry Foundation.  BH will be held at Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa (12 miles south of Des Moines ), July 20-25, 2008.  

This unique program gives students an opportunity to gain an understanding of economics, the free enterprise system, entrepreneurship, and a wide variety of careers while working in a team environment, developing a product from junk and duct tape (creative types love this part), running a mock business, developing a marketing plan (including a TV infomercial) and presenting that plan to potential investors.  It is also about improving leadership skills, personal development, living on a college campus, meeting new friends from across the state and having a BLAST!

Students will discover their talents and find out why those talents are essential in today’s workplace.  They will learn how to work in a team with a lot of diverse personalities.  They will discover career options they never knew existed.  They may even find, or change, their future direction.  Many Business Horizons alumni call it the best week of their summer.

Each student accepted will receive a scholarship (a $700 value) provided by an Iowa business, organization, or individual to pay for most of the cost of delivering the Business Horizons program.  Students pay only $195 (if received by April 17), which covers all meals, housing, conference materials and activities.  After April 17 the registrations fee is still only $250.  If a student is an excellent candidate but unable to pay the registration fee, please contact us at the ABI Foundation.

Application procedures are listed on the brochure.  The deadline for applications is April 17 for priority consideration. Students will be accepted after this date if space is available.

“Business Horizons was a great opportunity for me to learn in more detail how a business works from the inside out.  I’ve made friendships that will last a lifetime, and possibly even business partners down the road!”  –Adam O’Leary, Garner-Hayfield High School, Business Horizons 2007 graduate
