JA Career Bound Grad Shares His Experience in Leadership Program
"JA Career Bound has motivated me to one day start and manage my own personal business using the many tools and skills I learned while in the program. I am better prepared for today's workforce! Program days, including my favorite visiting Celebrity Cruises, introduced us to career opportunities within the various industries."
- Kaleb Santil, 11th grade.
In our cutting-edge, skills building leadership program, high school students
visit some of South Florida's premier businesses to learn firsthand about the career opportunities and what companies are looking for in future employees. Students learn from top executives who share their journeys to success. At the end of the year, students will have the opportunity to put their skills into action by participating in various paid internships with job shadowing.

Junior Achievement of South Florida continues to connect future entrepreneurs and leaders with business innovators. Thank you,

JA Blog: Buying Local in a Buzzing Economy
How many times have you heard "Buy Local" or "Support Local Businesses"? Probably hundreds of times. So why this "local" push? What does it do for you or your community? With summer here, the concept of buying locally will only increase, specifically about your local farmers' markets. While providing you with delicious produce, farmers markets potentially have a more significant impact on the community than it does just in your fridge.
