Jump into Business was founded on the principle that student engagement with Business clubs, dual credit, and exposure to high ed. events during high school supports pathways to college. The Jump into Business program partners with high schools to provide engagement opportunities such as dual credit, DECA and FBLA business clubs, on-campus events like Ready. Set. Innovate, connecting students with mentors and advisors, student college signings, and Jump into Business honor scholarships.
