Students at West Essex High School will hear first hand the experiences of local entreprenuers
Budding entrepreneurs who are currently enrolled in the Virtual Business class at West Essex High School will have the opportunity to hear about the experiences of local businesses owners and entrepreneurs. On Wednesday, October 22, 2014, at 9:30 am, Heather Kippel, owner of FASTSIGNS of Fairfield will be sharing her experience with these future business owners and entrepreneurs. Ms. Kippel will be joined by Michael V. Daniels of AXA Advisors, Atlantic Branch. The format will be a “talk show” format where Mr. Daniels will interview Ms. Kippel. Students will have the opportunity to participate with questions and comments.
Virtual Business is a course offered at West Essex High School which gives students an opportunity to create a business plan for their own venture. Business education teacher Janice Emering states “Hearing from individuals like these, who have successfully navigated the process of small business ownership is both inspiring and invaluable.”
Ms. Kippel and Mr. Daniels are both members of the North Essex Chamber of Commerce (NECC). The Chamber exists to connect business with community. Through its members, NECC is inspiring future entrepreneurs by giving high school students an opportunity to learn from and interact with a local store owner.
