Student Competitions
Many of our Sales Center partners ask us to host sales competitions for our UNCW students that involve doing a roleplay selling their product or service to a partner employer playing the role of a typical buyer.
Each of these competitions represents an incredible opportunity for students to hone their skills, learn more about employment opportunities, and demonstrate their potential for exceptional employment opportunities with the sponsoring partner. There are also cash awards (deposited to your student account).
