As part of the TPA – Innovation Center for Education Transformation project, students from SPŠOA in Bruntálparticipated in the “Our Companies” project day, focusing on the development of entrepreneurial skills, innovation, and strategic thinking. This workshop provided participants with a unique opportunity to experience what it takes to run their own business, make investment decisions, and respond to market dynamics.

Simulating Business in Practice

During the workshop, students became entrepreneurs through a simulation game. Each team was given a predetermined budget, which they had to manage strategically. The goal was not only to maximize profit but also to plan investments wisely, manage resources efficiently, and adapt to real-world market challenges.

Throughout the day, students faced various real-life business scenarios—from changes in demand to unexpected economic fluctuations. Every decision had a direct impact on the company’s success, encouraging intensive teamworkand the need for quick yet well-thought-out decision-making.

Winning Team Showcased Entrepreneurial Talent

At the end of the event, a panel evaluated the success of each team. The winning team was the one that achieved the highest profit, demonstrating not only their ability to analyze situations and plan strategies but also effective teamwork and a creative approach to problem-solving.

Why Is This Workshop So Important?

The “Our Companies” project day provided students with a practical perspective on entrepreneurship, a crucial skill in today’s rapidly evolving world.

Key Benefits of the Event:

✔️ Critical Thinking Development – Students had to evaluate risks and adapt to changing conditions.

✔️ Creativity & Innovation – Participants explored original ways to increase profits and gain a competitive advantage.

Conclusion

The “Our Companies” workshop once again confirmed that practical education is the key to developing essential skills for future professional success. Students not only gained valuable experience but also discovered new motivation for entrepreneurship. Events like this help build confidence in young people and prepare them for the challenges ahead in their careers.
