Stimulating entrepreneurial thinking is a priority all over the world, being a driver of the well-being of people and communities. And because mentalities are formed from an early age and through the contribution of several actors, JA Romania implements entrepreneurial education programs in public-private partnership, involving educational institutions, companies, teaching staff, students and families in the educational process.
We prepare young people for real life by teaching them how to launch and manage profitable businesses and how to create jobs for themselves and their friends, bringing added value to the communities in which they live.
Students in the program are encouraged to develop an entrepreneurial mindset that will help them in the future to be independent and innovative, to take risks, accept challenges and seek creative solutions, whether they launch a business or become self-employed .
The JA Entrepreneurship Education Program offers a complete learning process: from free trainings and webinars for students and teachers, to classroom lessons and practical projects to set up pilot companies, incubation periods supported by the business community, trade fairs local, regional or national products and services, continuing with the possibility of testing acquired skills and obtaining the European Certificate of Entrepreneurial Skills (European Skills Pass).
