Survey of Accounting Simternship
COMING SOON
Take Learning Beyond the Book with a Simternship
The Stukent Survey of Accounting Simternship goes beyond your average business simulation, allowing your students to put the concepts you’re teaching them to work. Your students will practice making journal entries to account for business decisions and events, creating financial statements, and more.
A Simternship helps your students gain experience, master marketable skills, increase their knowledge retention, and yes, even make mistakes in a low-risk environment. It’s a powerful experience that cements learning for a lifetime.
Simternship Scenario
The simulation places your students in the setting described below:
You are trying to save money to pay for college! Rather than spend time selling pest control or security systems or used cars, you decide to take a more adventurous route. You travel to Hawaii to start a business!
You want time on the beach, a relaxing atmosphere, and to make some money to help pay for your education. And hey, if things go well with the business, you might stick with the business and grow it into a profitable, long-term, lifestyle business.
The business involves selling sunglasses and suntan lotion and renting paddle boards and body boards on Kaanapali Beach in Maui. If things go well with your first location, you should be able to expand your locations — we will see.
During the Simternship, your students will have a business partner and mentor who advises them, makes decisions, and allows the student to make a limited number of business decisions as well. The emphasis and grading of the simulation are based on how students account for those decisions via journal entries, prepare financial reports, and ultimately make a presentation to the bank for additional funding.
