What's New

JA Worldwide received a $1 million Commitment Grant from Oracle to fund global expansion of the JA Titan™ program. The gift will support growth of JA Titan beyond the U.S. and Canada to 10 additional countries in their respective languages, and to four U.S. markets. As a result, JA Titan will be available to as many as 100,000 additional students around the world, benefiting new populations, as well as existing users. American high school students will be able to work with, learn from, and interact with their peers from Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

JA Titan is an innovative, online, high school-level program in which students act as virtual CEOs, making critical economic and management decisions using an interactive web-based simulation of companies competing in an imaginary global marketplace. JA Titan gives students firsthand experience in mastering the challenges that come with operating a successful global enterprise.
