Elementary School Programs :: Our Nation®
Junior Achievement gratefully acknowledges
United Technologies for its
dedication to the development and implementation of Our
Nation.
Our
Nation is Junior Achievement’s fifth-grade program that
provides practical information about businesses’ need for
individuals who can meet the demands of the job market, including
high-growth, high-demand jobs. Students will learn that businesses
need workers with skills that are in demand, such as STEM skills –
science, technology, engineering and math. They’ll understand that
people who have these skills benefit from a growing number of
career opportunities.
Our Nation introduces the concept of globalization of
business as it relates to the various careers students may choose
to pursue, and the need for students to be entrepreneurial in
their thinking.
Students who get Our Nation today will be better equipped
for tomorrow to meet the requirements of businesses worldwide.
See the Scope and Sequence for a complete listing of program concepts and skills.
