OUR STORY
Founded in 1982, a young group of business leaders sought to enhance business education in the state of Wisconsin. Business World, a program of WMC Foundation, has educated more than 25,000 students through summer “mini” programs and classroom presentations.
Through hands-on, engaging activities and presentations, students who participate in our programs experience first-hand the satisfaction and joy of creating an innovative product and a profitable business. But even more importantly, students gain a greater understanding of the value and importance of business in their own communities.
We know that without a strong and vibrant economy, the quality of life for Wisconsin citizens in our communities, whether they be in big cities or in rural areas will suffer. It is our goal to educate our future workforce on the crucial role that profitable businesses and manufacturers play in livelihoods, and the philanthropy from the business community is the backbone to building robust, thriving communities.
