Big ideas meet real-world practice! 💡This Summer, our Breakthrough U Scholars gained experience as future entrepreneurs during a Practice Pitch Day generously hosted by @PwCUS! 💼

Ahead of their Pitch Day competition at Breakthrough U (@UnivMiami), Breakthrough U Scholars presented their original business concepts through multiple rounds of pitching, receiving real-time feedback from #PwC professionals serving as judges, mentors, and coaches to help sharpen their ideas, strengthen their presentations, and build confidence to communicate their vision in professional settings.

A "breakalicious" thank you to @PwCUS for continuing to invest in Breakthrough Miami and for creating meaningful experiences that connect our Scholars with professionals, expand their career horizons, and open NEW doors of opportunity!
