  • Inspiring and Preparing Young People for Success
    Inspiring and preparing young people for success 2017-2018 Mission Report Nathan Ziegler, principal of Hope Academy, and his students. Read his JA story on page 14. Dear Friends, As we reflect on this past year, we’re energized by what we’ve accomplished thanks to your investment. Junior Achievement has experienced incredible growth, innovation, and success. We’ve impacted more students, joined with more educators and schools, and partnered with more volunteers. We’ve piloted two new programs — JA Inspire and JA Meda Fellows — to equip students with the skills needed to succeed in the workforce and start a business. We inspired the creation of 74 student-run companies through JA Company Program, an increase of 23% over last year. We’re always looking for new ways to motivate young people to envision a successful future and to gain the skills needed to be contributing members of our community. Our partners are instrumental in keeping us relevant, innovative, and engaging! Today’s youth are our future; their success is our success. As we look forward, we’re excited by what’s ahead. In 2019, Junior Achievement will celebrate its 100th year. Very few organizations make it to 100 years, much less continue to grow and thrive as Junior Achievement has. Celebrate with us – watch our centennial video at https://youtu.be/fKAvHJ9vcek. Locally, Junior Achievement of the Upper Midwest is also experiencing a milestone next year. We’re moving our experiential learning center to St. Paul. The Junior Achievement James R. and Patricia Hemak Experiential Learning Center will have two experiential learning labs instead of one, allowing us to double the number of students participating in JA BizTown and JA Finance Park.

  • Empowering Young People to Own Their Economic Success
    Empowering young people to own their economic success Mission Report 2012-2013 Inspiring and preparing young people to succeed in a global economy. Dear Partner, As our nation focuses its attention on ways to create jobs and spur economic growth, Junior Achievement (JA) continues to expand the depth and reach of its programs. We have done so by providing 149,500 young people with relevant, experiential learning opportunities centered on financial literacy, college and career readiness and entrepreneurship. JA’s unique approach relies on volunteers from the community who deliver our curriculum while sharing their experiences with students. The dynamic interaction between students, educators and volunteers promotes active learning while bringing theory to life. The JA experience establishes the foundation on which young people can build the skills and attitudes necessary to succeed in a fast-paced world. The case for JA has never been stronger and we are excited to build on the success of this past year with a focus for the future on the following: • Strengthen economic literacy by delivering elementary programs sequentially with school districts committed to long-term partnerships. • Accelerate growth of our high school programs to enhance student skills in financial literacy, college and career readiness and entrepreneurship. • Partner to reach students out of school, expanding the learning day and providing students with experiences that promote their roles as citizens, consumers and workers. • Grow our capstone programs (JA BizTown, JA Finance Park, JA Company Program, JA Job Shadow and JA Titan) to equip students with 21st century skills that will benefit them in the real world.

As a result, students in grades K-12 learned real-world skills that will help them succeed in school and beyond. Thank you! In light of the painful economic lessons recently learned by governments, families and businesses, there is an even greater need to educate our youth about how to effectively manage money and prepare for their future. JA programs teach 21st century skills and offer real-world experiences. In the coming year, JAUM is focusing on the following strategies to keep our organization relevant: • Integrate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) careers at JA BizTown and introduce STEM into our K-12 curriculum • Educate students of different backgrounds and ethnicities about financial literacy, college and career readiness and entrepreneurship • Incorporate innovative teaching methods into our learning facility and into our curriculum such as smart board technology, video lessons and personal devices • Offer real-life experiences (job shadows, competitions, capstone projects) to expose students to opportunities beyond their classroom • Conduct local evaluations to validate learning and JAUM’s impact on student motivation As we embark on another exciting year, we look to you for continued support to help connect students with educators and business people to build a more fiscally savvy community.

  • Hospital Outpatient Fee Schedule (HOFS)
    DEPARTMENT OF , LABOR AND INDUSTRY Payment accuracy and timeliness in the Minnesota workers’ compensation Hospital Outpatient Fee Schedule (HOFS) January 15, 2021 Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry Research and Statistics 443 Lafayette Road North St. Paul, MN 55155 (651) 284-5XXX [email protected] www.dli.mn.gov/about-department/news-and-media/hofs This report cost approximately $60,000 to prepare. Upon request, this material will be made available in an alternative format such as audio, Braille or large print. Executive summary Background In compliance with a legislative mandate, this report analyzes the accuracy and timeliness of payments from insurers to hospitals under the Minnesota workers’ compensation Hospital Outpatient Fee Schedule (HOFS), which took effect Oct. 1, 2018. The statute stipulates that the Workers’ Compensation Advisory Council (WCAC) shall, on the basis of the study results, “consider whether there is a minimum 80-percent compliance in timeliness and accuracy of payments” and whether statutory amendments are appropriate, relating, at minimum, to a “maximum ten-percent reduction in payments under HOFS and an increase in indemnity benefits to injured workers.”1 HOFS was enacted in response to continuing concerns over rapid cost increases in the prior system for reimbursing workers’ compensation hospital outpatient costs. That system was primarily charge-based,2 so payments tended to grow in proportion to hospital charges, which had grown substantially faster than general prices and wages. HOFS, by contrast, uses some of the main features of the Medicare Outpatient Prospective Payment System. HOFS applies to outpatient visits that involve one or more of some 3,000 major surgical procedures and/or an emergency department (ED) exam.
