The Friday Program

Washington Business Week

One of Washington State’s most successful programs will celebrate its 30th anniversary in a few years, and it counts among its staunchest supporters the Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club. Since 1988, the BBRC has appropriated funds for scholarships to high school students attending Washington Business Week.

Steve Hyer, Executive Director of WBW since 1996, gave members a recap of the accomplishments of the organization. “The Foundation for Private Enterprise Education is the sponsoring entity for Business Week, with a co-sponsorship by the Association of Washington Business. Business Week was created back in 1976 to help high school students learn more about business.”

About 600 high school students from around the state gather on three college campuses for a week-long, intensive study that seeks to teach that profit is not bad. “Students get a hands-on learning experience,” said Hyer. “They really get to apply things they’ve learned during the week. They learn to work as a team. The experience has shown that attendees become better citizens and employees. Business Week is open to any age high school student.”
