The JA Titan Experience is a five-lesson learning experience taught in classrooms over the course of a semester. It culminates in a single day challenge held at companies and universities throughout Maine. The experience puts high school students in the business seat as a leader of a cell phone company, where they’re faced with navigating the intricacies of working as a team, decision-making, financial analysis, and corporate responsibility. Local mentors work with teams, guiding students in their role as team leaders.
