Description: JAI inspires and motivates young people to succeed in the changing world of work by equipping them with the skills, knowledge and confidence they need.
We work directly with young people, schools and the business community to help build a successful and sustainable future for all young people and society at large. A volunteer from ‘the real world’ has significant educational impact in helping students to see the relevance of their studies and their post-school choices. Our young people need positive role models from every sector of the economy in order to fully appreciate the range of options that are available to them.
We utilise the experience of those already in the workforce to help young people of all ages to fully understand the important role that education will play in shaping their futures. JA business volunteers – who act as role models from the working world - are recruited, trained, vetted, equipped and supported to deliver hands-on learning experiences in primary and second level schools.
Through our entrepreneurship, employability, financial literacy and STEM programmes we aim to encourage young people to stay in school and help them realise their potential in order to empower a generation to learn, to work and to live.
We equip young people with the employment and entrepreneurship skills to thrive right now—and in the future. By building a host of skills and nurturing self-belief, JAI prepares young people for the future of work, teaches them how to think entrepreneurially, and ensures that they have the tools to be financially capable adults.
