The Leader Within 2026 IBEA Fall Convention

Discover how Columbus is turning a traditional school concession stand into a dynamic, real-world learning experience. In this session, you'll explore how students in a work-based learning class are taking full ownership of the concession stand — managing everything from inventory and budgeting to marketing and customer service. You will hear first-hand from students about how this innovative approach develops critical career skills, fosters entrepreneurial thinking, and brings classroom concepts to life. Whether you're an educator, administrator, or program coordinator, this session offers practical insights into creating meaningful, student-led business opportunities within your school.
Handouts include: Powerpoint Notes, classroom activities, and other materials.
