Financial Literacy, Work Readiness and Entrepreneurship Programs JA offers programs in three key areas – financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship. Volunteers from local businesses partner with your teachers to give you real-world skills that you can apply to your life immediately and use throughout your career. You’ll receive mentorship from these business leaders and have the opportunity to learn from their experiences and ask them questions. Our most extensive program is Company Program. In this four-month program, business leaders teach you how to start and manage your own business. Many successful entrepreneurs credit Company Program as the driving force that gave them the confidence and skills they needed to launch their companies. At JA, we’re constantly improving our programs to give you the best head start for your future success. Our programs include a mix of hands-on activities and digital technology – providing you with the skills you need to have the world at your fingertips. |
