The Ivey High School Case Competitions (IHSCC) offer high school students from around the world a chance to dive into the world of business by tackling real-life challenges in a fun, one-day event. Hosted by Ivey Business School at Western University every spring, these competitions are designed to help students build their problem-solving, teamwork, and presentation skills while exploring the exciting field of business.
What are the Ivey High School Case Competitions?
In the Ivey High School Case Competitions, students work as part of a team to solve a business case and present their ideas to a panel of judges. Each case is based on a real-world business scenario, so participants get a taste of what it’s like to work as a consultant. The best part? No prior experience is needed! This event is all about having fun, learning something new, and pushing yourself in a supportive and energetic environment.
You’ll register as an individual, and then you’ll be placed on a team with other students from different high schools. It’s a great way to meet new people, collaborate on creative solutions, and have a blast while developing key skills for the future.
