Junior Achievement of Southeastern Michigan (JA) empowers young people to own their economic success. JA is a partnership between the business community, educators and volunteers — all working together to inspire young people to dream big and reach their potential. JA’s hands-on, experiential programs teach the key concepts of work readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy to young people. Last year, more than 61,000 kids ages K-12th grade were engaged in Southeastern Michigan by JA programming. These programs include professional business volunteers entering the classroom, job shadows, and interactive budget management at Quicken Loans Finance Park.

Summer is an amazing time for learning at Junior Achievement of Southeastern Michigan. These students took part in the Accelerated Career Awareness Program (ACAP), a program by the National Association of Black Accountants, Inc. ACAP is a 6-day summer residency program where students reside overnight on campus at Wayne State University and attend technical sessions and panel discussions about college majors and career opportunities in accounting and finance. ACAP incorporates JA Finance Park into their curriculum and uses their annual Finance Park visit to put the concepts the students learn into action. Wayne State University
