JA Company Program™
|
JA Company Program encompasses business, entrepreneurship, and economics curriculum. The program emphasizes business content, while providing a strong focus on social studies, mathematics, reading, and writing skills. The JA Company Program experience enhances students’ classroom curriculum. Students are encouraged to use innovative thinking to learn business skills that support positive attitudes as they explore and enhance their career aspirations.
Through a variety of hands-on activities and technological supplements designed to support different learning styles, students develop a better understanding of the relationship between what they learn at school and their successful participation in a worldwide economy. JA Company Program is a series of 12 meetings. The average time for each meeting is 2 hours. Extended learning opportunities were developed to enhance and expand core activities. JA Company Program provides interactive, take-home materials for students. Materials are packaged in a self-contained kit that includes detailed activity plans for the volunteer and enough materials for students. All student companies will participate in the Singapore Company of the Year Competition. Winners of the Singapore Company of the Year Competition will represent Singapore in the Asia Pacific Company of the Year Competition. All JA programs are designed to support the skills and competencies identified by the Partnership for 21st Century Skills. These programs also augment school-based, work-based, and connecting activities for communities with school-to-work initiatives. |
