Launching February 9, 2022
The JA Inspire Virtual Career Exploration Program is Junior Achievement’s capstone career development program for 7th-12th grade students brought to life by our region’s employers.
Using virtual technology, JA Inspire features an online career exploration event filled with local business exhibits providing downloadable career information and videos. Available at no cost to school systems, the JA Inspire program is adaptable for in-class or remote learning. Participants will have the opportunity to explore various career pathways, gain information on career entry and requirements, and access tips on professionalism and business etiquette.
We are excited to partner with Junior Achievement of Southeastern Michigan on this endeavor!
