OPERATION CEOS X ACI

An Introduction to Business

Operation CEOs x ACI: Welcome

For the summer of 2020, Operation CEOs partnered with ACI (Achieve Club Initiative) to launch a five-week program in which students learned about business management. The course covered the four functions of business: marketing, human resources, operations management, and finance. In addition, classes challenged students by introducing them to common issues found in each of the four functions and taught students how to solve them.  

The information obtained in this course can be used to further preexisting knowledge, gain a background before pursuing a career, or simply serve as a means of quenching curiosity. After the program, students had a foundation solid enough to further their education on their own or by means of another institution.
