Among the stations included Juniors’ Office, Juniors’ Customer Service, Juniors’ Inspection, Juniors’ Innovation, Juniors’ Bank, Juniors’ Kitchen, Juniors’ Cafe, Juniors’ Studio, and Juniors’ Play Area.
The initiative provided young participants with an exciting and diverse experience, fostering their interests and cultivating their skills for future success. Participants performed roles, including CEOs, Business Managers, and Production Managers, acquiring practical expertise in product design, implementation, and marketing. A Customer Service program was incorporated in the initiative, which provided students with key interpersonal and customer service skills. They connected with clients in real-world situations, improving their ability to deliver excellent experiences.
