BUSINESS OF THE DAY: We’re Going to Corporate (Headquarters)!
TODAY'S AGENDA
Find a company “headquartered” in your city or town. Talk to your child about what the company does (sells, manufactures, markets, buys, etc.) and how they do it.
THE PRESENTATION SLIDE WITH TODAY'S OBJECTIVES: Why You're Doing This
- Expose your child to a local business with a reach beyond your city or town.
- Help your child to learn about a new industry or type of business.
THE FAMILY CONFERENCE CALL: Questions to Talk About Together
- What do you think the company does to make money? How? Why?
- What are some reasons why the company might be located in our city or town?
- Has it always been located in this city or town? Why here?
- How do people get to their job (type of transportation) in this town? Do you think it’s different for someone who works in a big city versus in the country?
STOCK TIP
Parents, this is a great opportunity to see if you can learn more about the company with a facility tour or an online investigation to learn more about what the company does. You can write questions with your child and ask them on a tour or call (or e-mail) the company to ask the questions.
