Welcome to Centennial High Schools' Virtual Business website

Virtual Enterprise is a simulated business that operates in a competitive environment with the goals of:

• Empowering students with entrepreneurial skills through relevant learning and team work.

• Connecting students with the local business community to gain valuable knowledge through the mentorship of business professionals.

• Inspiring students to develop ethical workplace behaviors and a strong work ethic.

What exactly is a Virtual Enterprise?

A Virtual Enterprise is a simulated business that is set up and run by students to prepare them for working in a real business environment.  With the guidance of a teacher ("coordinator") and real-world business partners, the Virtual Enterprise students determine the nature of their business, its products and services, its management and structure, and then engage in the daily operations of running the business.  Emphasis is placed on using current business software, electronic communications, and the Internet for business transactions.  The Virtual Enterprise simulation takes the teacher outside of the traditional instructional paradigm and remarkably places the students in the fast-paced environment of the modern business.
