Over the course of 13 weeks, high school students conceptualize and develop their own business ventures guided by JA Company Program curriculum and business mentors. Students have the opportunity to pitch their business ventures in our countywide JA Company of the Year Competition. We will have nearly 200 students participate in the JA Tradeshow sharing their business ideas and the lessons learned from their entrepreneurial journey. The event concluded with by presentations from the top six teams competing to be named the JA Company of the Year and the opportunity to be nominated for the national competition at JA USA’s National Student Leadership Summit. JA USA will select 15 student companies from across the country to attend this youth leadership summit in Washington, DC in June 2024.
