What is Junior Achievement Singapore? 

---

Junior Achievement Singapore inspires and prepares young people to succeed in a global economy. We teach students how to start business that create jobs. Teach entrepreneurial values that strengthen workplaces. Teach skills to generate wealth and manage it. 

We believe in the boundless potential of young people. We share their passion for excellence, respect their talents and creativity, celebrate their honesty and integrity, harness their desire or collaboration, and create opportunities for hands-on learning.  

Junior Achievement Singapore uses hands-on experiences to help young people understand the business of life in partnership with business and educators. Junior Achievement Singapore brings the real world to students, opening their minds to their potential and preparing them for the workplace.

Testimonials .

• It’s very helpful and useful in our journey of learning. It gives us great experience in learning about business as well as international trade. It’s great for our future

  STUDENT

• I thoroughly enjoyed volunteering for this program. The class was an absolute joy to work with. The content of the program also allows for the students to think out of the box and challenges them to think about non-academic topics and be creative. I believe that this sort of exposure to such topics would aid in their critical thinking skills.

• This competition gives us a platform to practice and is a great channel to learn more about business. Before inventing a product, there must be a need of the product. We must be firm of our ideas and product while presenting. Another thing: always try to figure loop holes of our plan to constantly improve ourselves.

  STUDENT

• There was a great deal of satisfaction and a real sense of contribution at the end of the program because it was very hands-on. Last but not least, it presented a non-work related challenge and contributes towards personal development.
