An exciting new program at Dorney Park allows students to tackle a real-world business challenge while hearing first-hand from experts in the fields of advertising, engineering, retail merchandising and park management. The Business & Marketing Career Day at Dorney Park is a unique two-part program featuring a classroom-based business case study and a first-hand glimpse of the business world in a park setting that combine to show your students that business can be fun, challenging and rewarding.

The Business & Marketing Career Day at Dorney Park is Friday, May 14, 2010. There will be two career-focused hour-long sessions at the Park that day at 10:30 a.m. and 12 Noon. There is limited seating at each session and school enrollment is first-come, first-serve, so register now. Schools must register directly with the Dorney Park School Coordinator by calling 1-800-551-5656 ext. 6. Even if you have a School Order Form, please call the School Coordinator first to confirm space availability for the session you prefer. Catered picnics are available after each session; ask the School Coordinator for more details. The on-site sessions at Dorney Park will be held only on Friday, May 16, 2008. Schools can participate in the classroom case studies and visit Dorney Park on another operating day, but without the on-site sessions.

During the ON-SITE SESSIONS at Dorney Park on Friday, May 14, experts in advertising, engineering, retail merchandising and park management will highlight the daily business challenges facing their fields and how they each must interact to run a successful business. Critical reasoning, effective communications, long-range planning and even a glimpse into the global economy will be touched on during these informative sessions.

A Classroom-based case study will allow your students to solve a real-world business challenge in a mock business setting. Participating schools are invited to send their “solutions” to Dorney Park by Monday, April 26, 2009 where a panel of business professionals will provide a brief evaluation and return it to your school before the end of term. There will be two case study options provided here in early February; your students can do either or both.
