If you are interested in studying commerce and see your future in business and entrepreneurship then The Brave Thinkers Programme is a great opportunity to test that out and get your CV looking fantastic. The Brave Thinkers Programme will be running in Palmerston North during the July school holidays as part of New Zealand Business Week and is open to Year 12 and 13 students from around New Zealand. Students will meet business leaders and also develop their own virtual companies and compete in a Dragon's Den style challenge (with a chance to win $3,000). Also note that students who participate in this and then go on to study at Massey University will get a $1,000 scholarship. Apply on their website, and contact Holly Gooch if you need help in doing so.
