Junior Achievement of Manitoba would like to extend the opportunity for Manitoba schools to participate in our entrepreneurship programs. JA programs are available for grades 3  to grade 12 students and can be delivered either in your school, or in an event format.

Program selection:

The following is a brief summary of the Junior Achievement programs offered to schools in Manitoba for the 2009/10 school year.  Each program lists the grade level, time commitment and the concepts students will learn.  Due to the high demand for JA programs, each program is only offered in specific months.  This will allow JA to have all volunteers recruited and trained prior to their specific program delivery month.

 

NEW THIS YEAR: All Winnipeg programs, except for In School Company Program will be offered from January to June only. 

 

JA programs are delivered by business volunteers, and funded through sponsorship dollars. For more detailed information regarding any program, please visit the Programs Section or Contact Us (opens in new window).
