JA Business Communications®, part of the JA High School Experience® courses, is a one-semester, teacher-led course in which high school students focus on communication skills necessary to succeed in business, including communicating up, down, and across organizations; talking about job performance; and writing in a business setting. Volunteers engage with students through a variety of activities that may include subject-matter guest speaking, coaching, or advising for case study and project coursework.
This course has received California A-G approval from High School Articulation, Office of Undergraduate Admissions, University of California.
Following participation in this course, students will be able to:
-- Learn the necessary concepts applicable to state and national educational standards.
-- Apply these standards-based concepts to the real world.
-- Synthesize elective concepts through cumulative, tangible deliverables (projects).
-- Analyze a business situation or principle through the use of a case study.
-- Demonstrate the skills necessary for future career pathway success.
JA Business Communications is part of the JA Work and Career Readiness Pathway. The course offers flexible implementation options to meet the needs of students and teachers in a variety of use cases. JA Business Communications is available in classroom-based or remote live implementation. Robust support materials are available for teachers, including a pacing guide for semester-long implementation. Your local JA Area may have the opportunity to support interested districts that have formed a relationship with post-secondary institutions to facilitate dual credit.
As part of this course, JA teachers and volunteers are encouraged to use the resources available in JA Connect®, located at connect.ja.org. This self-guided experience includes interactives, JA Here to Career, and apps for student use.
