Topping the list, above academic knowledge, were professionalism/work ethic, communications, teamwork and critical thinking/problem solving. Employers are expecting workers to have these basic skills; however, most are not prepared to meet their expectations. This study reinforces why businesses and schools seek Junior Achievement (JA) programs throughout Tampa Bay for learning experiences that extend beyond academics. JA is a recourse for students to gain the vital skills and perspectives necessary for entering the workforce. Mastery of these skills requires more than a well-crafted curriculum and increased technology. It requires multiple exposures to experiential based activities reinforced by experts students can interact with, model and emulate. Today, students are highly immersed in technology. Technology drives their communication methods, and even manages their relationships. However, technology often lacks multidimensional experiences that involve human interaction and build upon the critical skills required to be a successful employee. JA experiences, and volunteers who facilitate them,enable students to gain a multidimensional perspective of life and how education is applicable to specific career paths. These same volunteers also play an invaluable role by sharing their experiences, expectations and the skills one must demonstrate to be a successful employee. Essentially, JA is a unique partnership bridging academics and real life. This annual report strives to recognize those who proactively engage in preparing our 21st century workforce, as well as to call for further action. While Junior Achievement of Tampa Bay instructed 89,945 students and volunteers delivered 911,427 contact hours this past year, empowering fifteen percent of the students enrolled in K-12, there is a growing need for volunteers and there are many opportunities to contribute through JA. JA’s objectives are simple: to equip every student to enter the workforce and adult life knowing what they need in order to be successful and for them to embrace a multidimensional world, understanding its obligations, expectation and unlimited opportunity. Thank you for enabling JA to provide the children of Tampa Bay with a brighter future.” Sincerely, Robert Mossbacher Richard George Chairman of the Board President Junior Achievement of Tampa Bay Annual Report 2012-2013 3 Impact by the Numbers 2012-2013 OPERATIONS AND REACH Geographic Footprint Tampa Bay Volunteers 7,517 Total Students Served 89,945 Elementary Students Served 67,226 Middle School Students Served 13,440 High School Students Served 9,279 Classes Taught 4,717 2012-2013 Total Volunteer Pool 9,619 Instructional Contact Hours 911,427 About Junior Achievement of Tampa Bay, Inc.

At the end of this program, students put into practice what they have learned about economic options and the principles of budgeting. Assisted by their teachers and trained volunteers, they have the opportunity to actually develop and commit to a personal budget. Nearly 90% of educators surveyed believe students should be required to take a financial education course or pass a financial literacy test before they graduate. Unfortunately, fewer than 20% of teachers feel they have skills or knowledge to teach this information. - National survey of K-12 teachers, Journal for Financial Counseling and Planning education, 2009 Junior Achievement of Tampa Bay Annual Report 2012-2013 6 What is JA BizTown? Imagine a city where young consumers rush to the bank to deposit their paychecks. Sales clerks create merchandise displays and reporters interview local business leaders to get the most up-to-date story. Across the way, the restaurant prepares for the lunch hour and the mayor meets with business managers to get an understanding of current economic trends. This could be any city in the country, but it is this image that perfectly describes a day at Pam and “JA BizTown is a quality experience for our kids.
