ABM THEORY

The ABM strand in its most fundamental sense refers to the accountancy, business, and
management academic programs that concentrate on the foundational concepts in corporate
operations, financial management, business management, as well as each and every factor that
revolves around those central fields.

ABM is a business-to-business (B2B) marketing strategy that focuses on identifying accounts


(i.e. companies) that match your ideal clients and targeting the key decision makers at those
companies with personalized messages and content through your marketing and advertising
campaigns.

WORKING STUDENTS

A working student is a person who has work and at the same time go to school as
astudent. ... Their duties as a working student are hard while they're still in the school.
They have different time for working and give a time for studying. A working studentis
responsible enough to handle their life being a student.

Helping your students decide whether to work during high school is an important
discussion that can have repercussions on their success in high school and beyond.

"College costs are high, and young adults also want the amenities that extra money
brings," according to John B. Boshoven, counselor for continuing education at
Community High School in Michigan. However, he warns, "school is my students' full-
time job."

For some students, especially those in traditionally underserved populations, taking a


job is not a matter of choice, but necessity. They need to work to save for college or
even to supplement family income. Counselors should help students who have a real
need to work improve time-management skills and seek employment that helps their
educational goals.

BENEFITS OF WORKING STUDENTS

Studies show that students who work are more confident and possess better time-
management skills than students who are not employed. In addition to offering a
paycheck, some independence and satisfaction, a part-time job can provide both
training and experience. Working teaches students about responsibility and can
also reinforce what they are learning in school.

"Admission representatives want to find candidates who demonstrate maturity,


responsibility, independence and initiative — and good workers certainly demonstrate
those important character traits," Boshoven says. "Employers can write excellent
recommendation letters for the students who have worked for them."

CHALLENGES OF WORKING STUDENTS

On the other hand, experts agree that students who work more than 15 to 20 hours
per week often experience decreased school success, which can lead to dropping
out entirely. Working long hours can also limit opportunities to build friendships and
explore interests that enhance intellectual and emotional development.
