High School Case Competition

The 2024 High School Case Competition, sponsored by Chartered Professional Accountants British Columbia (CPA BC), took place on April 27, 2024.

BCIT School of Business + Media invited over 35 Burnaby high school students to solve real-world problems for local businesses using business and accounting concepts at our annual case competition.

Participating high school students received three weekly 2-hour mentorship sessions with BCIT School of Business + Media student mentors. During these sessions, students were taught how to analyze, solve, and present a business case study in preparation for competition day through a practice case.

On competition day, students had around 3 hours to prepare their final business case and presentation. All teams presented their solution to a panel of five industry judges at the Telus Theatre. Case presentations were 8-10 minutes in length. Following the presentation, judges provided feedback to the students. The teams were then judged on the practicality and value of their solutions and the quality of their presentations.

Awards were given to the top 3 teams. This year, the winners received a BCIT plaque made with wood from the Burnaby campus.
