WCTC business students learn through a mock trade show.
Business classes at the H.B. Ward Career and Technical Center (WCTC) in Riverhead held a Mock Trade Show recently to practice techniques they have been learning this school year. Students created display boards, brochures, and practiced marketing. They used computers to research products, create word art, and obtain images. According to teachers Virginia Rios and Cheryl Rosolie, students used digital cameras to photograph actual products and packaging. “Their brochures and displays featured nutritional and product information, manufacturers’ suggested retail prices (MSRP), and various other advertising tools,” explained Ms. Rios. Free samples of products sold in the school store were distributed. Administrators, teachers, and students in various career and technical education (CTE) programs attended. Student Shavon Miles of the Riverhead CSD commented, “This is a new and exciting experience.”
