THE CEO CHALLENGE is an exciting and successful Junior Achievement High School program focused on developing entrepreneurial thinkers and building leadership skills. Students will set goals, manage time and resources in a real life learning “Shark Tank” like event. The CEO Challenge is an interactive learning experience designed to engage
and inspire students who enjoy risk taking and want to be challenged in unique and fun ways.
CEO Challenge is a career prep approved, tuition free activity. It can be woven into the regular school day or be an after school project. Schools may have multiple teams of
3-6 students; each team receives a $100 stipend to cover team presentation supplies. Teachers receive $400.00.
Spark:
- A one day Youth Entrepreneurial Summit
- Open to all high school students 10th—12th grade
- Through interactive activities, and networking with other students and local business mentors students are involved in entrepreneurial thinking and high energy team building
activities.
- At the end of Spark students get more information about the next steps to Ignite and Launch.
Ignite:
- Students form teams at their schools; each team develops a business idea to present at Launch in March.
- Student driven: Interactive learning modules give students needed skills to create/develop/launch their business concept
- Teachers guide their teams through the JA provided learning modules 1-2 hrs a week
- Local Subject Matter experts provide "real life" knowledge and advice
