Recruiting Organization: Washington Business Week

Washington Business Week (WBW) places professionals with high school students in a dynamic workplace simulation where students role play as industry professionals, launch a company, and solve real-world challenges.

As a Company Advisor (CA), you will be the team’s guide. This unique opportunity to educate and empower students also develops your leadership skills firsthand. Share your expertise in your team’s "workplace", engage them in critical thinking exercises, and provide feedback on mission and vision.

Behind the scenes, you and other volunteer professionals from around the world will network, gain practical management insights from our program staff, and learn from each others’ experiences to inspire your team to victory.

Company Advisors often call WBW one of their favorite weeks of the year, as the week brings them deep fulfillment while also helping them grow as people and as leaders. You’ll be surprised the lifelong connections you make with students and deep friendships and community you forge with other CAs.

CAs identify coaching/mentoring, adaptability, influencing, presenting information, delegating and teambuilding as some of the competencies they sharpened.

This is an overnight program so you will have the opportunity to stay on campus and have all meals provided. Training will take place on Saturday and the program will kick off on Sunday when students arrive.
