JA Global Marketplace Blended Model introduces students to the global marketplace and the ways in which countries buy and sell from each other. Through completion of this program, students gain an understanding of producers and consumers in the interconnected global market. They analyze the similarities and differences among countries and the effects of free enterprise.

Following participation in the program, students will be able to:

-- Explore the global marketplace and the ways in which countries buy and sell from each other.
-- Understanding of producers and consumers in the interconnected global market.
-- Analyze the similarities and differences among countries and the effects of free enterprise.

JA Global Marketplace is part of the JA Work and Career Readiness Pathway and is recommended for middle school students. It consists of seven 45-minute sessions and offers two implementation options:

-- Advanced implementation includes Sessions One-Six delivered by the volunteer and Session Seven delivered by the teacher or volunteer.

The program is a blended program, available in classroom-based and remote synchronous implementation.

A Junior Achievement Volunteer teaches students

Junior Achievement lessons are delivered by volunteers from the community. These presenters are prepared by JA to facilitate engaging learning activities that focus on financial literacy, work and career readiness, and entrepreneurship. This results in an enriched learning experience that helps students make the connection between what they learn in school and the world outside the classroom.

2) Pick Schedule

You will be able to coordinate a schedule that works for your class either online or in conjunction with a JA representative.

3) Meet Presenter

Once a volunteer is identified for your class, JA will connect you with the presenter to discuss roles, expectations, and logistics.

4) Empower Students with Standards-Based Education

After all details are in place, the JA volunteer will deliver lessons to your students either virtually or in-person.
