2024 JA Inspire Michigan

What is JA Inspire?

The JA Inspire Virtual Career Fair is Junior Achievement’s capstone career development program for 13-25 year-olds, brought to life by our region’s employers.

Using virtual technology, JA Inspire features an online career exploration event filled with local business exhibits providing downloadable career information and videos. Available at no cost to participants, the JA Inspire program is adaptable for in-class or remote learning. Participants will have the opportunity to explore various career pathways, gain information on career entry and requirements, and access tips on professionalism and business etiquette.

Educators: Why JA Inspire in Michigan?

  • Increase parental knowledge of career pathways.
