OCM BOCES is partnering with WCNY to bring the Enterprise America program to regional schools.  This exciting hands-on program for middle-school students, where they apply the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) and financial and civic literacy skills they have learned to run the city’s 12 businesses and City Hall, becoming business entrepreneurs and employees, consumers and citizens for a day.  In Enterprise America’s real-world, hands-on learning environment, students do the work, make the decisions and learn what careers may demand of them when they enter the workplace.  By putting into practice the skills that 21stcentury businesses expect employees to possess, students gain a relevant and authentic civic experience they can draw on to deepen their understanding of academic curriculum.
