Developing our Future Workforce by Connecting the Business Community with Students
Workforce and workforce development are key focus areas at the Frisco Chamber of Commerce. One area we love to assist in is connecting the business community with our future workforce. Please see one of the many opportunities below.
Business Professionals of America (BPA)
BPA is a student organization that contributes to the preparation of global professionals through the advancement of leadership, citizenship, academic and technological skills for students at the middle, secondary and post-secondary levels.
As students come together for their contests, Julie Barker, Regional Advisor for Business Professionals of America (BPA) Texas is in need of assistance with judges. The conference includes Frisco and surrounding areas and usually has between 800-1,000 students. Approximately 120 judges in total are needed.
Virtual Opportunities
There are opportunities for judging presentation contests that are pre-submitted prior to the face-to-face contest as well as opportunities to judge in person final rounds.
In-Person Opportunities
Face-to-face/in-person opportunities will be on Saturday, January 22, 2022.
