Nothing can compare to "real world" experience when it comes to understanding the world of business. Since 1919, Junior Achievement has helped prepare millions of young people for the real world by showing them how to generate and effectively manage money, by becoming an entrepreneur how they can help create jobs that will make their communities more robust, and by preparing them with life skills necessary to enter the workforce successfully. Students put these lessons into action, and understand the value of becoming contributing members of their communities.
