These high school programs focus on economics of businesses and school-to-work community readiness. They help prepare young people for their future roles, whether on the job or in continuing their education. Activities are geared toward real-world training and help students develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to become productive citizens and workers.
All JA programs have technology enhancements and are designed to support the skills and competencies outlined in the SCANS (Secretary’s Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills) report. These programs also augment the school-based, work-based, and connecting activities for communities with school-to-work initiatives.
