JA Inspire Experiences

For the fifth year, Junior Achievement, in partnership of more than 100 northeast Ohio businesses and organizations, is gearing up to launch our 2024-2025 JA Inspire Program to help 6-12^th grade students connect their school choices now to building their future dream careers - right here in northeast Ohio!

A FREE resource for students and educators, JA Inspire includes:

Curriculum specially customized for middle or high school-aged learners;
JA Here to Career, featuring our career matching assessment and local and national information on jobs, employers and post-secondary education; and
JA Inspire, an in-person career fairs for high school students, held in Richland, Stark and Wayne Counties

We strongly recommend encouraging student exploration through the in-class curriculum, guided and self-guided JA Here to Career interactive content, and in-person event attendance (high school students only).

Space is limited for our JA Inspire events and is first come, first serve. Please contact your JA Program Manager to get signed up today!
