In a rapidly evolving and increasingly complex economy, too many of today’s young people lack fundamental 21st century skills needed to thrive in the “real world.” A recent survey reveals 40% of college seniors fail to graduate with the soft skills needed in today’s workplace. Without a strong workforce, we cannot maintain a competitive edge in our global economy. JA programs equip students with critical skills — like leadership, team work, perseverance, and innovative thinking — through hands-on, experiential programs that open a window to the real world.

Learning begins in the classroom where educators utilize JA curriculum to prepare students for a one-day simulation while bringing relevance to social studies, math, language arts, science and technology. By working in JA BizTown enterprises located in JA’s learning lab, students learn how to be responsible business leaders, consumers, workers and citizens. They also deepen their understanding of various career pathways and the powerful role education plays in their future.

JA Finance Park teaches middle and high school students personal finance and career exploration through classroom instruction complimented by a day-long simulation in JA’s learning lab. Students are randomly assigned family and income scenarios and manage a personal budget. Students calculate net monthly income and make life decisions on housing, transportation, clothing, phone/data plans, entertainment, healthcare and other expenses to illustrate the cost of “life” and the correlation of earning power to education. Saving, paying for post-secondary education and managing an investment portfolio are also important learning objectives.
