“I feel that I improved myself on a personal skill level in areas such as presentation skills and confidence. I also firmly believe that the children involved in the programme will have gained a greater insight into the world of business and hopefully decide that this is a career path they may want to pursue in the future.”

Charlie Cannon, Principal, Errigal College, Co. Donegal

“We have had a long standing partnership with JA. It gives our students the opportunity to engage with people from industry. It is great for the students to learn about the benefits of staying in school and also be given real life examples of how to budget. Feedback from the students is that they gained a lot of practical knowledge.”

Volunteer, PwC

“Volunteering for Junior Achievement was a thoroughly worthwhile experience and it was a great learning experience for both the students and myself. I learned a lot throughout the programme and I would highly recommend it to anyone.”

Shane Loftus, Home School Community Liaison Teacher, Our Lady Immaculate SNS, Darndale, Dublin 17

“JA do something tangible that raises the aspirations of our pupils, that show them a way out of disadvantage and shows them that if they want a different life and are prepared to work for it that they can achieve it.”
