Junior Achievement Nigeria empowers 720 students on ja be entrepreneurial program.

Junior Achievement Nigeria with support from UPS Foundation is empowering senior secondary school students with the JA BE Entrepreneurial program that challenges students to start an entrepreneurial venture while still in high school. The program which is being run in both Lagos and Abuja is to help students recognize characteristics and practices of successful entrepreneurs, Evaluate an entrepreneurial idea based on product, customer, and competitive-advantage criteria, and Demonstrate business-planning skills for venture start-up, marketing, financing, management, and ethical decision-making.

All Junior Achievement programs are designed to support the skills and competencies identified by the Partnership for 21st Century Skills. Junior Achievement programs also augment school-based, work-based, and connecting activities for communities with school-to-work initiatives.
