Junior Achievement Ireland encourages young people to remain in education and teaches them the skills they need to succeed in a changing world. With 24% of students dropping out of school without a Leaving Certificate we need your help – as a role model and as a connection to the world of work.
Together with our 3,000 business volunteers from 150 supporting organisations, we reached 65,000 primary and secondary school students nationwide in 2009/10.
Creating a culture of enterprise in the schools system, from Senior Infants to Leaving Certificate class, Junior Achievement programmes use hands-on activities to help young people understand the economics of life.
Part of a global organisation, Junior Achievement Worldwide, is part of an international movement to better young people’s lives – and together we’ll reach 8.3 million children this year!
