The Oregon Council on Economic Education (OCEE) is a nonprofit partnership of leaders from education, business, and labor dedicated to increasing economic literacy in Oregon. As part of the National Council on Economic Education network of university-based affiliated Councils, our mission is to provide students with a basic understanding of economics and the problem-solving, critical thinking, communication, and teamwork skills necessary to survive and prosper in today's complex world. Indeed, OCEE is convinced that this knowledge and these skills will enable students to become more productive members of the work force, knowledgeable consumers, prudent savers and investors, effective participants in the global economy, and competent decision makers throughout their lives.
