Applications Now Being Accepted for Business Horizons 2008 Download an application today 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.
