That’s a wrap on The Pitch competition hosted by
@uabbizcareer for BUS 350! 🎬
Two BUS 350 classes were involved in a pilot program this week in which students created elevator pitches about themselves and competed in front of judges like on The Voice television show. The students used the Big Interview Training Tool to help write and record their one-minute pitches, then the Collat Career Center team selected finalists from each class. 🎥
The finalists competed live to the backs of three judges, who turned around when they heard something they liked. Four winners each took home a $100 gift card. (Congratulations Jakayla Jones, Sierra Howardson, Kenya Woods and Humza Khan!) 💵
Because the pilot was so successful, The Pitch will be included in every BUS 350 class starting this fall, including online classes. 🎤
Many thanks to judges Whitney Weathersby with Enterprise Mobility, Zach Sims with Nowlin & Associates, Hannah Greganti with Consolidated Electrical Distributors, and Jame...
