What is JA's focus?

The focus of Junior Achievement (JA) is on preparing students for future success via three key pillars: financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and work and career readiness 1.

JA’s mission revolves around making students ready for whatever comes next, whether it's entering the workforce, attending trade or vocational schools, or pursuing higher education 2. They emphasize the incorporation of innovation and technology into education, having been pioneers in bringing computers into classrooms 2.

Their approach involves engaging volunteers to teach financial literacy through storytelling and personal experiences, which makes the learning process interactive and relatable for students 1 3.
