The 8th Annual JA JobSpark will be held at the Indiana State Fairgrounds on September 26 & September 27, 2023
THANK YOU!
On behalf of Junior Achievement and the 10,700+ eighth graders who attended our 7th Annual JA JobSpark this past September, THANK YOU! Your participation as a volunteer made a difference in the lives of thousands of students. Because of the efforts of each of you, they learned about real-life jobs and careers, salary and educational requirements, what it's like to work in a certain industry and most importantly... they saw a glimpse of their potential!
JA JobSpark Celebration & 2023 Kick-Off Breakfast
We would like to thank all who joined us on January 26th for the JA JobSpark Celebration and 2023 Kick-Off Breakfast! We had an incredible turnout for the meeting and the clusters are off to a great start after their planning sessions. We had over 80 attendees sign up to join/return to a cluster and we are so excited to partner with new companies across all 8 industry clusters.
Thank you for your commitment to the 11,000+ students who will participate in real world, hands-on career experiences at JA JobSpark in September of 2023. It is because of you, that these students will experience career pathways, future jobs in demand and the skills needed to have those jobs. Without the support of all of the business, education and community leaders, JA JobSpark would not be possible!
We would also like to give a special thank you to The Belzer Sound Show Choir from Belzer Middle School for kicking off our JA JobSpark Breakfast! They were fantastic. Click HERE to view a video of their performance.
