Educational Awards—FITTskills International Business Program
Each year we present four Educational Awards to students who’ve shown outstanding success in one or all of our FITTskills international business courses. Three of the awards are academic and the fourth award, introduced in 2006, is for overall achievement. It is our absolute pleasure to recognize the hard work and impressive results of our FITTskills international business students.
