Middle School Entrepreneurship Programs
The middle grades programs build on concepts the students learned in Junior Achievement’s elementary school program and help teens make difficult decisions about how to best prepare for their educational and professional future. The programs supplement standard curricula and develop communication skills that are essential to success in the business world.
Junior Achievement’s entrepreneurship pathway provides a measurable way to ensure students develop both an entrepreneurial mindset and entrepreneurial skills. JA’s competencies support identifying opportunities, innovative thinking, problem solving, and risk tolerance as well preparing young people to launch financially lucrative and sustainable enterprises.
