Business Information Management is an elective course at Canyon Vista MS for our 8th grade students. We partner with Junior Achievement of Central Texas to offer a program called JA Company. JA Company is a program that empowers students to conceptualize, capitalize, and manage their own business ventures. Each BIM class creates their own company. Throughout the process of building their own company, students collaborate, make crucial business decisions, communicate with multiple stakeholders, and develop entrepreneurial knowledge and skills. Community volunteers and mentors provide real-world guidance and experience to the student-led startup. This year, provides its own set of challenges and is a representation of how companies have had to adjust during the pandemic. 

As you can imagine, the usual customer base (target market) for our BIM companies is their peers. In pre-pandemic years, the students could handle all the sales and marketing on campus. This year they are challenged with their target market staying home via virtual learning. Our student companies would like to reach out via email to the students of CVMS and share their marketing material, website, etc. This would give the at-home learners an opportunity to learn about their offered products and a chance to purchase if desired. 

Below you will find an overview of this year’s 5 BIM Companies.
