Program Overview
Junior Achievement of Newfoundland and Labrador (JANL) offers innovative programs that stimulate and inspire elementary, middle and high school students to value free enterprise, understand business and economics, and develop entrepreneurial and leadership skills.
JANL programs are activity-oriented programs designed to enhance school curricula and develop employability skills. Programs are delivered in partnership with volunteers who bring first-hand business experience to the classroom.
Teachers and volunteers are provided materials, training and ongoing support by Junior Achievement staff. JANL, a not-for-profit organization, is funded primarily by business, and offers programs at no cost to the students, volunteers and teachers.
JANL´s goal is to provide our increasing numbers of students with relevant, contemporary, and responsive programming and earn unparalleled stakeholder loyalty as the business education partner of choice.
The objectives of the programs are to:
- promote interaction between business professionals and future employees;
- develop teamwork, critical thinking and decision-making skills;
- promote an understanding of basic business and economic terms such as production, marketing, research, investment, budgets, taxes, and credit;
- build self-confidence and self-esteem in the students; and
- understand the importance of goal-setting, planning and dealing with the unexpected.
