More about SIFE@UOW:
SIFE students work together, with the help
and guidance of the Faculty Adviser and BAB (business advisory
group), to create innovative community outreach activities
that teach others about enterprise.
SIFE students also develop ways to fund
their projects, manage themselves, publicise their activities,
network with local, national and international business executives
and have fun.
These projects are entered in the annual SIFE
competition. Each SIFE team prepares a written
annual report and an oral presentation describing the projects
that have been undertaken and the results achieved. The report
and presentation are made to a panel of business judges at
the annual national competition held in mid-year recess.
The competition judging guidelines are:
- Understand how a market based economic system operates?
- Acquire the education and skills training needed to succeed
in a dynamic, competitive global economy?
- Learn how to succeed as an entrepreneur and/or improve
an existing business?
- Develop the personal financial management skills necessary
to achieve financial independence?
- Understand that the long-term success and prosperity of
a market economy, businesses and individuals are dependent
on ethical business practices?
- How successfully did the team develop and execute a strategy
to ensure the long-term sustainability of their team and
educational programs?
