Junior Achievement is Back in Tuolumne County
Sonora, CA...The JA Company is happy to announce that the youth oriented program is re-starting in Sonora with new sponsors and new energy. “We’re looking forward to mentoring the youth in Tuolumne County on the ins and outs of business while showing them first-hand how a business person makes decisions and runs their company.” Said Larry Cope, Director of Economic Development at the Tuolumne County Economic Development Authority. “We’re thrilled to be able to sponsor Junior Achievement here, we hope that today’s teenagers will be inspired to become tomorrow’s entrepreneurs.” Said Aaron Roy, COO of Sandvik, a local sponsor of the effort....
Junior Achievement's programs focus on work readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy, and teach young people important skills to help them become economically empowered. JA students learn how to start and grow a business, how to successfully contribute in the workplace, and how to effectively manage the money they earn.
Junior Achievement programs also help prepare young people for the real world by showing them how to generate wealth and effectively manage it, how to create jobs which make their communities more robust, and how to apply entrepreneurial thinking to the workplace. Students will put these lessons into action and learn the value of contributing to their communities.
