JA Introduces New High School Program:
JA Be Entrepreneurial

Introduced this fall, JA Be Entrepreneurial challenges students to create all the essential components of a functional business plan. Students learn to recognize characteristics and practices of successful entrepreneurs, as well as evaluate a product idea and gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace. By seeing the broader picture of how a business in managed, students will be able to demonstrate business-planning skills for venture start-up, marketing, financing, management, and ethical decision-making. We are encouraging the next generation of business owners to help themselves be equipped and educated for success, but we need volunteers to share their own stories of entrepreneurship! Call Bernadette at 210.490.2007 x106 to find out about available volunteer opportunities!
