Enterprise Village is a self-contained economic education program that provides a hands-on learning experience for students. Students spend time in their classrooms learning about writing checks, using a debit card, keeping a checkbook register, applying for a job and working as a business team. These lessons are put into action as the students spend one day at the village. The layout of Enterprise Village is similar to a shopping mall. During their business day, students work in one of the 20+ businesses, receive paychecks and have the opportunity to be consumers by making purchases throughout the business-sponsored storefronts. 

The Enterprise Village program assists students by allowing them to:

• Develop basic economic concepts
• Understand relationships between businesses and consumers
• Use quality concepts in business and consumer planning
• Develop a basic understanding of checking and savings accounts
• Understand a simple decision-making process
• Work together to satisfy customer’s expectations
