We&rsquo\;re excited to share that 11 students from the \;Utah \;Black \;Student Union Alliance and across the valley are participating in the \;Be A CEO (BCEO) \;12-week program\, where they are stepping into their roles as the next generation of entrepreneurs!
\n\nThese driven young CEOs are gaining invaluable knowledge from entrepreneurs and leaders within the \;Utah \;Black \;Chamber\, mastering critical skills like budgeting\, branding\, networking\, and pitching their business ideas.
\n\n\;
\n\nAnd the excitement doesn'\;t stop there! Our students will pitch their businesses to a panel of business leaders and executives\, competing for a \;$2\,000 Grand Prize \;and an exclusive opportunity to pitch at the \;PROG Development Center Shark Tank Competition. \;Second place will receive \;$1\,700\, \;and third place will take home \;$1\,300&mdash\;all awarded as investments in our talented \;Black \;students to help turn their business dreams into reality.
\n\n\;
\n\nBy the end of the program\, these young entrepreneurs will have developed comprehensive business plans\, secured vital resources\, and laid the foundation for their success.
\n\n\;
\n\nWe'\;re especially grateful to our \;Chamber Members \;who serve as dedicated mentors\, generously investing their time and expertise every Saturday to work with the next generation of entrepreneurs. This program simply wouldn'\;t be possible without their commitment.
