The JA Company Program gives you a broader perspective on how academic excellence is just a part of being a successful student or person generally in life. Beyond the opportunity of having a working knowledge of the fundamentals of running a business, I’ve learned to communicate effectively, improve my negotiation skills, and ability to confidently embrace challenges with the range of critical thinking and problem solving skills I acquired through the program
My experience with Junior Achievement has been nothing but impactful. I learnt a lot about business which has contributed immensely to my career success. we need to come together, start and promote initiatives like the JA Company Program that can make the world a better place. And I am hopeful that young people can lead this agenda.
The Swiss Re Start Up Academy provided a chance to merge my passion for environmental conservation with business.
The mentorship and support of the JA community cushioned me to start Conservation Leaders, a community driven initiative propelled by young people who are pioneering environmental sustainability in the world.
