The Semi-Finals is a listening call in which students will conduct a Needs Assessment, with the end goal being to secure a final meeting to close the deal (max. 7 minutes); approximately 10-15 students will make the finals.
In the Finals, students will review what they had learned from the earlier meetings and try to obtain agreement on a contract. The Finals will be conducted via video-conferencing software.
