WCNY is pleased to announce the reopening of Enterprise America!
Enterprise America is an exciting and experiential program that combines classroom instruction and hands-on learning. Following the completion of classroom study, students spend a day in WCNY’s Enterprise America City, which they are responsible for operating. Students become entrepreneurs, employees, consumers, and citizens while practicing and applying financial and civic literacy skills. They learn how businesses, governments, and non-profit agencies depend on each other. And, often for the first time, students are able to understand that their career goals can become a reality. With 14 different businesses to choose from, students are given the opportunity to pick a career path that interests them. Since the start of the pandemic, we have been busy at work improving and modernizing the program. With new features and technology, the space is ready to host middle school students who are eager to learn about responsibility and accountability within a safe environment. Enterprise America is hands-on, experiential learning at its best. The program creates energy, excitement and “ fun to inspire students to learn about financial literacy and civic readiness. We are thrilled to partner with educators across Central New York to provide this experience to middle school students in our region. ”
