More than 500 high school students will learn business ethics this school year thanks to a joint effort of the UCCS College of Business Ethics Initiative and Junior Achievement’s Teaching Business Ethics Program. More than 14 teachers and business people attended the program, which trains them to teach high school students and local businesses about business ethics in the workforce and marketplace. “We are thrilled to be partnering again with our regional Junior Achievement office,” Ethics Initiative director Tracy Gonzalez-Padron said. “This year we will more than double the number of high school students learning about business ethics.” The virtually seamless UCCS Ethics Initiative Junior Achievement partnership of the last two years is set to continue into the future, exposing increasing numbers of students in Southern Colorado with ethics training at a young age. This integration of ethics training at the K-12 level, in addition to the training students will receive as they continue their studies at the university level, is certain to have a positive effect on the practices of Colorado’s future business leaders and therefore on our community as a whole. At this years event, guest speaker Louie Larimer drew on his more than thirty years’ experience as an attorney, licensed real estate broker and corporate educator to help volunteers and teachers think critically and strengthen ethical decision-making skills in students. “This program is so relevant and the exchange between volunteers, teachers, and students provides a much needed dialogue that benefits all involved,” said one attendee.
