Junior Achievement gratefully acknowledges the Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention for its dedication to the development and implementation of JA Success Skills.

"What do I need to know to find, get, and keep a job"? The answer? JA Success Skills. Students participate in challenging exercises to help them develop personal strategies to achieve lifelong learning pursuits and career opportunities. Team-building exercises test their problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, as well as their ability to communicate, negotiate, and lead. Through engaging activities, they appreciate the importance of personal appearance, professional demeanor, punctuality, and written and oral communication.

See the Scope and Sequence for a complete listing of program concepts and skills.

Be sure to visit the Resource Room for helpful links.

Teacher and volunteer handbooks, like the one seen here, accompany each JA Success Skills program kit.
