JA Prince Edward Island
JA Company Program empowers students in grades 9–12 with the skills, networks, and confidence to build something remarkable.
Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, have a startup idea, or simply want to learn new skills and meet new friends, this after-school experience will prepare you for life.
Over 16 weeks, you’ll collaborate with like-minded peers and dedicated mentors to launch and run your own business from idea generation to company liquidation. Along the way, you’ll develop practical and interpersonal skills while forging valuable connections. Working with other youth from across PEI, you’ll handle real money, create real products, and serve real customers.
Confidence, communication, resilience, career exploration, and business know-how. JA’s Company Program covers it all.
