Young Entrepreneur Awards
Joseph Willis
Joseph is a recipient of the Hasbro Games Young Entrepreneurial Scholars Award. The award includes $500, which is to be used for post-secondary educational costs or as an investment in the student's business venture. Joseph was the third place winner in the Springfield Technical Community College's Entrepreneurial Institute YES! Business Plan Competition.
Joseph is a graduate of Chicopee Comprehensive High School, where he participated in the Young Entrepreneurial Scholars entrepreneurship class. Joseph is the founder of Quick Fix, a treat bar that he created while in high school. He was happy to see his delicious bars sell out every time he made them.
Joe is a new tenant in the STCC Entrepreneurial Institute's Student Business Incubator, where he will receive support, assistance and training to further develop and grow Quick Fix. His love of culinary arts and his determination to succeed combine to make him a successful young entrepreneur.
Joe presently attends Springfield Technical Community College, where he is studying Entrepreneurship. He hopes to be an inspiration to other students as he develops his Quick Fix business and continues his success as a young entrepreneur.
