Careers in Business Feb/Mar Article
Launch the media gallery 1 playerIn February, we explored multiple types of insurance, how to obtain it, variables that affect the
cost of each, and how to determine out-of-pocket costs for health and home owner’s claims. It
was not a crowd pleaser which is true of most adults as well, but they did a great job! Excel is
wrapping up mid-February with great success and we will put those skills to work during the
Stock Market Game which will be what we spend a significant amount of time doing. We will
explore companies, stocks, reading a stock quote, risk, what metrics to use when doing stock
analysis and other parts of investing including how to prepare for retirement…no time like the
present to begin saving!
Most of the CIB II students have completed their internship hours and are continuing to work
while putting the finishing touches on their portfolio. Additionally, they will work on the
PowerPoint presentation they are giving to their respective mentor and the CIB I students at the
end of April. It’s a great chance for the CIB I juniors who are taking the class next year to learn
what options and opportunities they have to look forward to.
