UE senior Vincent Ferraro is one of 15 driven New Visions Business Academy students who have designed, developed, and are now operating their own student-run company for the 2025–2026 school year. This Junior Achievement company runs through the New Visions program. It provides students with real-world business experience. They are building a company from the ground up, producing real products, and learning everything involved in running an enterprise.
The team’s product, the R.I.S.E. Essentials Kit, is an on-the-go solution for everyday inconveniences. Designed for students, commuters, and busy people on the move, the kit contains thoughtfully chosen items to help solve small but common problems, so you’re prepared no matter where the day takes you.
Vincent said, “I am happy to be part of the program for the 2025–2026 school year! My classmates and I have a great opportunity to participate in this program. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the New Visions Business Academy and we appreciate the support.”
If you’d like to purchase a R.I.S.E. Essentials Kit or learn more about the student company, contact Vincent at Vincent.Ferraro@btboces.org, or scan the QR code on the flyer. Your support helps these students gain invaluable hands-on experience and brings their entrepreneurial efforts to life.
We look forward to watching R.I.S.E. grow and to sharing more about the team’s journey.
