Golden's "ISSCT Club - Business Project" trains students to run a school-based business and fosters entrepreneurship among the club members. The students are opening "The Patty Shop," which will sell Jamaican patties to students and staff at an affordable price. By training with business professionals and the local Chamber of Commerce, the students - many of them from Haiti - learn how to start and operate their own business. Each student has a role in running The Patty Shop, from advertising to bookkeeping, and they are encouraged to develop their own business plans for the future.
