JA South Western Ontario - Head Office

I am as enthusiastic as I've ever been about Junior Achievement London & District and the Company Program. The main thing I always tell people that keeps me coming back is that every year is different - a completely new and unique experience. At the end of each year, I'm always thrilled to see how much the achievers have grown and the amazing things they've achieved. I'm proud to say that each year, I feel that I grow and improve as well. Many thanks for all the great memories.

I have been part of Junior Achievement (JA) for four years. For three of those years, I was a student in the program and this year, I was a volunteer with the administration team. Junior Achievement has been an amazing program for me as it brought me out of my shell when I entered the program as a shy Grade ten student. My mentors along with the other students in the program were always supportive and helped me to gain as much as I could from the program. This experience was invaluable as it taught me leadership skills and business skills that I would never have been able to experience from reading a textbook or sitting in a classroom listening to a professor speak. I am therefore extremely grateful for everything that JA has provided me with and I highly recommend other students to join JA!

Junior Achievement is an absolute amazing opportunity.I went into it not knowing too much about business, and after two years of taking part in their annual Company Program (with just recently being the President of one company), I have learned about both entrepreneurship and lessons for life.It's an enriching opportunity and a very rewarding one as well!

The Junior Achievement of London & District Company Program provided me with countless opportunities for self discovery and professional development. I was able to learn more about business and entrepreneurship, while improving my financial literacy and leadership skills. I created positive memories and lasting friendships with my peers and mentors. I highly recommend Junior Achievement of London & District programs to all youth!

In my three years of involvement in the Junior Achievement Program I obtained many skills, such as leadership, cooperation, work ethic, time management, and entrepreneurship fundamentals, all of which are applicable in the workforce. The program gave me extensive hands on experience in business fields such as marketing,financial,and production management, and really helped me to learn how a business works from the inside out, in a secure and supportive environment.Overall, each and every year of Junior Achievement was a completely different, but valuable experience, with lots of new peer relationships to be built, roadblocks to learn from, and successes to be proud of. It made learning about business a lot of fun for me and I recommend it to all high school students!

Junior Achievement is not only a great learning experience, but also a fun and interactive way for students to see what it's like to be an entrepreneur. Having been both an achiever and a mentor I have experienced first hand the supportive and collaborative atmosphere Junior Achievement Of London & District strives to create. It's great because everyone can take away a little something different, whether it be better leadership skills, new friends, entrepreneur experience or all of the above.

Junior Achievement is an enriching opportunity for any student. Not only does it help students learn about entrepreneurship, it enables students to develop interpersonal skills such as leadership, teamwork and communication. Being an alumni achiever and volunteer myself, I highly recommend their programs to all youth!

I participated in the Junior Achievement program when I was in Toronto and after completing the program and learning so much from my helpful mentors I decided to volunteer while attending University. Seeing the program from a different angle allowed me to continue learning about business personally with the amazing lesson plans and structure provided by the staff and other volunteers. There is a lot more work than seen that goes into Junior Achievement and I believe that as a student this is a great program to learn about not just business but budgeting and personal finance, an area that is not covered as well as I would have liked when I was in high school.Overall, I believe that Junior Achievement is a valuable learning experience for not just prospective business students but all students.

I have been part of Junior Achievement (JA) for three years. Junior Achievement has been an amazing program for me and my friends to get together and develop business oriented skills together. Learning how to run a company and sell products has helped me develop skills that will help me for the rest of my life. I highly recommend every student to give it a chance.

I took part in the Junior Achievement company program in my final year of high school, and the experience was invaluable. It allowed me to work closely with community business leaders and other students in a friendly environment. I was given the opportunity to develop my leadership, business, and entrepreneurial skills in a new and exciting way. I highly recommend the Junior Achievement company program to all those looking to get involved.
