Business and Entrepreneurship (up to 5 credits)
The class will operate all aspects of a small business in the form of a custom clothing and apparel company. Students will be provided opportunities to be a part of running a business and playing the role of an entrepreneur. Students will take in orders, design, and decorate apparel, invoice customers, and study “the bottom line” in terms of profit vs. loss. All students will create a personal project and fulfill occasional community projects in addition to the in house orders from various departments at CCH. Business operations will include advertising, finance, ordering, production, delivery and customer service. The students will have the opportunity to experience entrepreneurship and business in a variety of ways. Students will earn credits completing modules from many of these CTS strands depending on the project. CCH will give students real world experience focusing on the Entrepreneurial Spirit pillar of the new Alberta Education Framework for Student Learning.
