JA Economics for Success reveals the heart of a successful economic life: choosing the right career and managing money properly.

Following participation in the learning experience, students will be able to:

Explore their skills, interests, values, and the world of work to make informed education, career, and life decisions.
Develop their knowledge of personal finance to apply strong financial-management skills regardless of income.

JA Economics for Success is part of the JA Financial Literacy and Work and Career Readiness Pathway and is recommended for middle school students (grades 6-8)

This volunteer-led, kit-based program is available for classroom-based and remote classroom implementation. It includes six 45-minute sessions, with additional extended learning activities and optional digital assets offered throughout.

JA teachers and volunteers are encouraged, as part of this program, to utilize the resources available in JA Connect™ Learning Pathways, located at connect.ja.org. This self-guided experience includes interactives, JA Digital Career Book, games and apps for student use.
