The revolutionary WBE.NET International Trade Course emphasizes the power of the individual and prepares students for a lifetime of learning. Its main emphasis has been to allow students to create their own enterprise using the Internet web site www.wbe.net. It is very rewarding for the students who learn how to actually operate a business using computers, e-mail, faxes, printers and scanners. This has heightened their motivation and interest in learning while increasing basic skills such as math, writing and social studies. An overall improvement in attitude and attendance has also been noted.

The future is brighter for those who will decide to go on and set up business for themselves. These lucky students receive a powerful message that through activity such as this they can become better prepared for the real world and set themselves free of working for others. And, there is magic in that message. Former President Bill Clinton, Governor Gray Davis and top educators from California have witnessed the success of the course; they saw for themselves what all the excitement is about.
