Sponsors

• The opportunity to make a positive investment in our young people by giving students the chance to experience first hand the ups and downs of the business world.
• Passing on your knowledge and experience to the next generation of business people.
• A chance to participate in a community project and gain acknowledgement of your contribution through the media and schools.
• Human resources development for you and your staff.
• Making your employees aware of educational issues.
• Gaining an understanding the needs and problems of young people today.
• Gaining insights into how young people think. 
• Seeing the capability of today's youth.
• Improving the interpersonal skills of you and your staff.
• Contributing to the local community.
• Developing mentoring skills of your staff.

There are many ways for businesses and organisations to become involved in Business Week.

Student Sponsorship

Sponsors from around New Zealand have contributed to the success of local youth by providing financial support for a student to attend Business Week. This support funds a portion of the students registration fee and/or contributes to the travel costs of the student to attend Business Week.

Programme Support

The programme is only possible with the ongoing generous support of local and national businesses and organisations. Support can be financial or in kind contribution. For more information about Programme Support opportunities and to see this years supporters please click here.
