Every JA BizTown holds a Town Hall, bringing students together to reflect on their roles, companies, and how they help the community thrive. Through these discussions, students build leadership, collaboration, and public speaking skills while gaining confidence in sharing their ideas. We love seeing future leaders in action!

With all the excitement around the new Spider-Man release, this photo felt too perfect not to share. During a future-career drawing activity, the student in the middle threw up his best Spidey hands for the camera. 🕷️

So tell us, what did you want to be when you grew up?

What do you see in these photos?
We see the future.

Junior Achievement JobSpark is an immersive career exploration experience that helps thousands of students discover what's possible for their futures. By connecting education with real-world careers, students gain valuable exposure to opportunities across eight key industry clusters:

• Advanced Manufacturing, Engineering & Logistics
• Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources
• Architecture, Engineering & Construction
• Business & Finance
• Government, Law & Public Service
• Health & Life Sciences
• Hospitality & Tourism
• Technology

When students can engage directly with industries, employers, and career pathways, they are better equipped to make informed decisions about their education and future careers. Equally important, they gain hope, belief, and inspiration.

Be a part of JA JobSpark this September!
