JA Inspire Virtual

JA Inspire is Junior Achievement’s new work and career pathway program. This career-based program is filled with learning experiences designed to build your soft skills and transform your abstract ideas about work into tangible ambitions and plans. JA Inspire includes in-depth information in each of the 16 career clusters, businesses, community college/university booths, videos, presentations, and a virtual scavenger hunt. The JA Inspire Virtual Career event is just the beginning of a thoughtful process that will help you plan your education and career path.

JA Inspire will happen entirely online October 3, 2022-July 3, 2023 and is open to all JCPS high school students.
