The American Private Enterprise System Program is designed for high school juniors and seniors. The program is implemented at the local level and provides youth with a basic exposure to the American Private Enterprise System through topics such as: How America is organized to do business; individually owned businesses, partnerships, corporations and cooperatives; other political economies, and how they work; our economy, how it works, what it provides; consumers; supply and demand, credit and savings; unemployment and inflation; and investments.
In APES, a select group of students discuss our economic system and how it works at the local, national and international levels. Discussion leaders from local businesses and professions, in cooperation with schools and 4-H Cooperative Extension agents, provide program leadership at the local level. Selected topics include: · How America is organized to do business · Other political economics and how they work · The US economy how it works and what it provides · Government and business · The individually owned business and business partnership · Corporations · Cooperatives-what they do and how they differ from other businesses · International trade The program also helps participants discover career opportunities in agriculture and business. |
