JA JobSpark Celebration & 2023 Kick-Off Breakfast
We would like to thank all who joined us on January 26th for the JA JobSpark Celebration and 2023 Kick-Off Breakfast! We had an incredible turnout for the meeting and the clusters are off to a great start after their planning sessions. We had over 80 attendees sign up to join/return to a cluster and we are so excited to partner with new companies across all 8 industry clusters.
They will work hard throughout the year planning hands-on experiences for the 11,000+ students who will participate in real world, hands-on career experiences at JA JobSpark in September of 2023. We can't wait for another group of students to experience career pathways, future jobs in demand and the skills needed to have those jobs.
We would also like to give a special thank you to The Belzer Sound Show Choir from Belzer Middle School for kicking off our JA JobSpark Breakfast! They were fantastic. Click HERE to view a video of their performance.
