Junior Achievement

Junior Achievement (JA) is the youth arm of economic development in this region! The economy is evolving at a rapid pace. It is time to redesign the student experience to prepare today’s youth for tomorrow’s economy. In partnership with the education and business communities, JA is transforming the student experience by bringing relevance, authenticity and application into everyday learning. Together, we will empower the next generation with the knowledge, capacity and motivation to thrive, to see greater possibilities and build a better future for themselves and their community.

Everything Junior Achievement does is done to better prepare students for the business of life! This is effectively done through JA’s three pillars; Financial Literacy, Work-Force Readiness, and Entrepreneurship (entrepreneurial thinking).
