Small Business is the engine of our economy. For many young Americans, Junior Achievement is their only source of economic education. In order for business to succeed, we must hire the very best people. More than 80% of high school students report that the JA program better prepared them for the future.
Junior Achievement is no longer an after school program. JA programs are taught in all LaPorte County schools, reaching more than 7,000 students. Volunteers teaching JA lessons prepare young people to pursue the skills necessary in today’s workplace. They seek to inspire young people to have an entrepreneurial spirit. They offer students a greater respect for business economics, personal finance and business ethics. Because the need is great, Junior Achievement is growing at an enormous rate across LaPorte County. It’s about young people taking control of their future, but it is also about you! Consider how your business will grow with the best possible workforce.
