Students

Welcome, JA Students!

Junior Achievement is excited that you are taking part in our JA Inspire program this year! In addition to your work in the classroom and attending the JA Inspire Career Exploration Fair, we are providing you with extra resources to help create a pathway to high school, college, or career.

Whether you need help finding the right high school to meet your academic needs, developing a resume, or finding the right apprenticeship program or college, JA has many resources to assist you.

If, along the way, you need more assistance, please reach out to your teacher, guidance counselor, or principal. They are more than willing to assist you in your efforts to be successful!

Thank you for being a JA Inspire participant and good luck!

Resources

JA Inspire Videos - This video series, which will be shown as part of your JA Inspire curriculum, was created to help you identify some of the choices you need to make in order to help you get started on your career journey. Hosts Maya and Mason will help you get excited with beginning to discover for yourself how a career choice can be both satisfying and fulfilling. (Thank you to our friends at JA Kentuckiana for the use of their videos, made possible by James Graham Brown Foundation, as we develop our JA Inspire program in Rhode Island.)

JA Inspire Career Exploration Fair Exhibitor List - Check out all of the companies and careers that we will be exhibiting during your JA Inspire visit. One of them may be your future employer!

JA Connect Learning Pathways - Join “JA Connect” for learning experiences to help guide you toward a financially secure future. The more you know, the more options you’ll have—in your career and in life.

JA Assembling Your Career - Junior Achievement, in partnership with Alcoa Foundation, helps provide middle school and high school students with practical information about STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) careers and the ways in which students can prepare for these careers while still in school.
