​
According to a Gallop survey, 45 % of pre-college students said they plan to start their own business, while 42 % said they will invent something that changes the world.
However, most students don't learn the skills they need to successfully create a business in school.
​
Over a four-month period, JA’s Company Program teaches grade 9-12 students how to organize and operate a real business. Volunteers from the local business community work with students to launch and run a small enterprise. This gives students the real-world skills and experience that they need to achieve their dreams of becoming entrepreneurs.
In this hands-on program, students learn the risks and rewards of starting a business and how to build positive relationships with the community.
They will:
  • Solve real business challenges
  • Gather data, evaluate choices and create a plan
  • Learn how to incorporate their business
  • Capitalize by selling shares
  • Develop and market a product or service
  • Learn about teamwork, responsibility and business ethics
  • Appoint a management team that will best enable them to achieve their company’s mission
  • Maintain and analyze financial records
  • Set sales goals and make effective sales pitches
