The Talent Days are back

Now students that graduated or expect to graduate from a VWO, HAVO or IB school will have another opportunity to discover what business talents they have and if their motivations and ambitions fit the BBA New Business Bachelor Programme. On 7 and 8 December, New Business School Amsterdam will host another Talent Days competition.

Following the steps of previous editions, participants of the Talent days will be grouped in teams and take part in a series of challenging activities that will allow each individual the chance to showcase his/her entrepreneurial potential and meet other high-potential aspiring entrepreneurs. These activities will be composed of a business game, an elevator pitch contest, a teambuilding exercise – in which participants will learn how to play rugby – and an entrepreneurial test. In addition to this, all participants will have a feedback session with professionals and will receive a report based on individual accomplishments, as well as on group activities, stating their strengths and weaknesses.

Final round and scholarships
Although these activities combined may seem pretty intense, they are not everything: on top of all that, a few number of participants will be selected to proceed to a next and final round. The selection of these participants will be based on the overall performance of each individual during the 2-days programme at the campus of Nyenrode Business Universiteit.

The chosen participants will be allowed to continue in the final round, in which the competition heats up and the players will have to prove that more than business talent they have motivation and ambition enough to win one of the scholarships – the scholarships combined can total an amount of €65,000. The final round of the Talent Days will happen on 13 January 2012, at New Business School, located at Weteringschans 165 – Amsterdam.
