Volunteers from Cybereason partnered with students from Peabody Prep Virtual School through SuitUp's business case competition. Students were divided into teams to create new products or services for Nike and pitch their ideas to judges. The winning team created a concept called "Nike Dance Club". Through coaching from Cybereason volunteers, 75% of students now feel confident obtaining career skills and more students expressed interest in careers like marketing and graphic/web design. Both volunteers and students found the experience positive and want to participate in future SuitUp competitions.
