Mini-Institutes:Bring a few CPE staff economists to your town for a two day training in economics. These institutes seek to demystify economics by offering accessible explanations of theory and vocabulary, and human-oriented analyses of current economic crises.  The institutes are designed to both cover basic economic literacy as well as focus on a specific theme which will run throughout the two days.

We have a sliding scale fee structure for workshops and mini-institutes. We can also assist with raising financial support for our programs. The high end of the sliding scale for a full day workshop is $900 plus expenses. The low end of the sliding scale is sometimes pro bono depending on circumstances.
