JA Career Speaker Library: Educator Access
Featuring over 40 videos, the JA Career Speaker Library highlights professional stories of an individual's career path and introduces students to professions/career paths that they may not have considered. Organized by career clusters, videos pair with pre & post materials to fully engage students and can be used during distance learning or to supplement virtual career fairs. For access to the library contact Jill Jamison at jjamison@jamaine.org.

Last Call: JA Titan Challenge Registration
The newly redeveloped JA Titan Challenge is a business strategy competition for high school students. Teams of two or three students compete as business CEOs, experiencing firsthand how an organization evaluates alternatives, makes decisions, analyzes the outcomes of those decisions, and then strategizes what to do next. To learn more contact Jill Jamison at jjamison@jamaine.org.
