In October 2024, the Concord University Department of Business will host the 31st Annual Concord Business Challenge (CBC). This prestigious event is an opportunity for high school juniors and seniors from West Virginia and Virginia to showcase their business talents and skills through a series of competitions.
The CBC will feature competitions in various areas such as business communications, accounting, economics, finance, hospitality, computer applications, marketing, management, and business math. The top three competitors in each category will be recognized for their outstanding performance.
Dr. Allison Bean, Chair of the Department of Business at Concord University, expressed her excitement about the upcoming event. She emphasized the importance of supporting the next generation of business leaders and noted that the CBC aims to foster innovative thinking and skills among young students to shape the economic future.
Following the competition on October 24th at 8:30 am, an awards ceremony will take place at noon to recognize students’ achievements in each challenge and overall school winners. A total of twelve scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 will be awarded during this ceremony. The top two students will receive a scholarship up to $4,000 over eight semesters.
