To many, they are the COVID generation, the failed generation, the lost generation.
To us, they are Tomorrow’s Heroes.
And to you?
At Junior Achievement, we help prepare young people for employment and entrepreneurship through our hands-on, experiential education programmes.
Our enterprising alumni are more employable, start more businesses, see longer and better business results and earn higher salaries than non-JA students.
All young people can achieve success in today’s global economy. If they are given the right opportunities.
