JA Tools for Success® introduces students to work and career readiness skills and other concepts and thought processes needed to prepare for the digital economy. Students learn work-ready skills needed to interact, build relationships, and exhibit self-awareness through the lens of their own values, skills, and interests.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Five modules, each consisting of multiple 5- to 15-minute student self-guided online activities, can be used as individual experiences, combined into a 45-minute traditional session or used as a supplement to be integrated into existing JA programs.

  • Teacher guides, available for each self-guided online activity, provide ideas for launching the activity, extended learning opportunities, and home-to-school connections. Connect with your local JA Area office to access the digital teacher guide.

  • Modules were collaboratively designed by JA USA along with national and international advisory group members.

  • Activities are accessible at JA Connect Learning Pathways (toolsforsuccess.ja.org) via computer or mobile device.

    JA Tools for Success is recommended for middle school students. Each self-guided, on-demand activity can be integrated during or after implementation of other JA learning experiences or used independently.
