A COMPETITION WHERE STUDENTS SET OUT THEIR PLAN FOR A NEW BUSINESS IDEA
What is iPAB
The I Plan a Business (iPAB) Competition is for Melbourne’s Western Region students to practice their business planning skills.
The concept was developed by Victoria University and fine-tuned with the help of teachers from the Western Region of Melbourne with the aim of connecting the competition with the curriculum.
All students in high schools in the local government areas of Brimbank, Hobsons Bay, Maribyrnong, Melton, Moonee Valley and Wyndham are eligible to enter.
