INSPIRING YOUNG MINDS

Junior Achievement brings enterprise education to young people throughout Ireland teaching them about the world of work, helping them set goals, plan for their future and learn the skills necessary to succeed in a fast changing world. Some of our young people don’t have any connection with business or a role model to inspire them to succeed in life – Junior Achievement is filling this gap – with your help! It’s a win – win!

As well as helping the students, your company will benefit too!

Teaching enterprise programmes to young people in local schools is an excellent form of personal development for volunteers, and an experience that is challenging, enjoyable and very rewarding.

GET INVOLVED!

Your company will gain from an enhanced profile in the community as a responsible and ethical corporate citizen.

In the longer term, school leavers who have benefited from JA programmes and acquired many of the essential skills needed in the workplace will make better employees.

TESTIMONIALS

“Junior Achievement provides excellent opportunities for staff volunteering in the communities in which we operate. The staff who taught programmes felt they made a real difference to the students they worked with, many of whom would not have had the same career and life opportunities as our people.

Working with Junior Achievement has provided our staff with the opportunity to make a real difference in the community in which we operate. Junior Achievement enables us to bring our experience of the world of work to the classroom and to students many of whom would not have had the same career and life opportunities as our people.”

Gerry Loughrey, – Group Corporate Responsibility Manager, Irish Life & Permanent

“Junior Achievement has been a fantastic success to date for Wyeth. Our employees have volunteered 450 hours of their time to deliver JA programmes in eight local primary and secondary schools. We have welcomed over 300 students to Grange Castle to see at first hand life in a Biotech company.

Junior Achievement is a perfect opportunity to promote science in a fun and interactive manner. It is important that students get to know companies in their area and understand the potential career opportunities available to them. The feedback which we have received from volunteers, teachers and students leaves me in no doubt that we are certainly making a positive difference.”
