How the Collection Is Used in My School
Students at FLUSHING HIGH SCHOOL are interested in earning money. Many of our students are enrolled in Virtual Enterprise classes and already know the basics of starting their own company. Our students use this collection to learn how to apply the skills they learn in school to either start their own business or develop a business they already started. Many of our students also use the collection to plan for their future. The collection helps them to focus on their personal goals and interests to find a life path that reflects their passions.
