Overview

The Global JA Titan Challenge is based on JA Titan^®, an online program that allows teams of high school and university students to act as chief executive officers of virtual manufacturing companies and compete to earn the highest performance index.

The teams are prompted to make decisions that affect the profitability and sustainability of their virtual company and attempt to outperform their competitors in profit, sales, and market share. They set prices, determine production levels, invest in capital, plan marketing and research, and development budgets.

"The Global JA Titan Challenge is Junior Achievement's most intense competition, requiring superior knowledge and skill levels," said Sean C. Rush, president and chief executive officer, Junior Achievement. "These students are socially-minded technology innovators. Through this competition, we empower their entrepreneurship and work readiness skills."
