Since 1980, Learning About Business has provided high school sophomores, juniors and seniors with a week-long mini-MBA experience, providing an interactive business simulation while fostering creative problem solving. Held on the beautiful campus of Lake Erie College in Painesville, Ohio, LAB students get a taste of college life away from home. Students also have an opportunity to earn three college credits for their participation in LAB Week. See FAQs for more information.
Intern Application
Rebecca Francosky, LAB Week Class of 2000
I found it extremely surprising how fun LAB Week actually was. I came to it with not-so-high expectations and an attitude of “I just want the week to be over.” But after the first couple of hours I knew it would be an exciting time. Meeting new people, learning new things that I’m interested in - it all gave me an experience that I don’t think I’ll soon forget.
