JA Inspire, Junior Achievement’s in-depth career exploration program for public, private, and homeschool 7th - 12th grade students offered at no cost to you. The program is a real-world way to envision future career opportunities.

It consists of three segments: 1) in-class sessions presented by the classroom teacher; 2) the hands-on career fair; and 3) an in-class debrief.

Equipping educators with classroom sessions before the career fair so students get the most out of the experience JA Inspire helps teachers engage with students on a deeper level.

Students’ eyes will be opened to the importance of career planning and how to research new and exciting careers. Junior Achievement has partnered with employers from our region, who are ready to inform students about careers and jobs at their companies during the event. At the career fair, students will engage with local business volunteers and participate in hands-on activities, often using actual equipment or tools their employees use on the job. The students learn what certain jobs entail and begin to imagine their futures in the context of these career opportunities.
