Narbonne Students Connected with Industry Leaders at Networking Event
BETA – Business, Entrepreneurship and Technology Academy, an EXP-supported academy at Narbonne High School, invited members of the LA Gateway Chamber of Commerce, local professionals, and Narbonne alumni to network with students on January 29.
More than 30 business professionals helped bridge the “networking gap” as they connected with over 20 BETA students at the event. Many of these students are a part of the virtual enterprise team that is heading to New York City to participate in the Youth Business Summit.
