This International Baccalaureate College Placement (IB weighted) course is a Capstone Course that is intended for those students who wish to take their ideas, projects, and business skills to the next level. Students enrolled in the class will not only learn the personal attributes needed to be a successful entrepreneur, but they will identify the skills necessary for the formation and survival of a new business. Students will build on the various concepts they have learned throughout the multiple business courses they have taken (small business management and related accounting, financing, human resource, legal and marketing concepts). Students will begin to think of themselves as employers rather than employees in the market, which will enable them to identify with the important issues that need to be considered as part of developing a business plan. Students will not just be developing a business plan, but they will be expected to run, operate and manage an actual business or real-world project for a business.  At the conclusion of the course, the students will deliver a presentation of their work to the class, administration and other community partners and/or mentors.  Prerequisite: Completion of Honors Marketing 2 or Honors Accounting 2 with a minimum grade of “B” or above, in addition to a teacher recommendation. *Students who choose to pursue the dual enrollment option will earn 3 college credits from Montgomery County Community College. This is a Level 2 IB Career Programme Course.
