Business teacher Brad Angelos said the open day was an opportunity for the college and students to be involved in the outside community.

‘The open day gives students the opportunity to have a real life experience in running a business that is not just isolated to the student body,’ he said.

‘Students learn to develop their communication skills, organisational skills, team working skills and time management skills.’

He said most students continued their business education at university or Tafe level to study different aspects of business.

Students had to make or order their own products, hire equipment, advertise/market their business and product and keep financial records.
