WakeABLE

WakeABLE (Achieving Business Leadership Excellence) is designed to introduce students to key business professional development concepts that will aid their college and professional career journeys. Students will gain a competitive edge in developing strategic thinking, problem-solving, and professional communication skills. Participants will also have the opportunity to engage in self and career exploration activities, as they explore a broad range of careers, and how their own strengths and skills may align with those opportunities.

Throughout this immersive program, participants will learn foundational business skills and learn how to apply them to their future careers. Students will hear from business professors and industry leaders, explore their unique industries, and apply their gained knowledge to provide an innovative solution during a capstone case competition.

As the program progresses, students will continue building on core business concepts through interactive workshops and real-world examples that reinforce their learning. The overall goal is to help students develop the confidence, knowledge, and skills needed to excel in a variety of business settings and prepare for future leadership opportunities. 

Participation in the WakeABLE program does not guarantee admission into the School of Business, and it is not a requirement for admission to the School of Business.
