American Private Enterprise Seminar
Author: Katherine Jury
Planning Unit: Family and Consumer Sciences
Major Program: Community Leadership Development
Plan of Work: Provide Resources and Training regarding Financial Literacy, Career Skills, and Business Management
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
The Hopkins County Family & Consumer Science Agent partnered with the Hopkins County School System, Hopkins County Regional Chamber of Commerce, and First United Bank to bring the American Private Enterprise System to a selected group of 40 high school students in Hopkins County. The program helps prepare students for an active role in business through direct involvement with local business and professional leaders—offering and encouraging an exchange of ideas between the groups. In doing so, students received hands-on experience with career opportunities in business and provided leadership training as participants learned about applied American business practices. Five local students qualified for the state competition at the University of Kentucky in June, and three won State Awards with associated cash prizes and $1,200.00 scholarships.
