Entrepreneurship: Junior Achievement

Encourage the young to take their ideas and visions and create their own business; that’s the essential message of Junior Achievement. By getting encouraging examples, inspirational ideas and practical advice, a young student can take a dream and make it a reality. Learning how to create a business from scratch and how to run it with help and support from business professionals and teachers. The student company program gives young people a great opportunity to peek into the world of business and get some exciting, risk-free experience. Junior Achievement is supported by Swedbank since we believe it is a great way to encourage entrepreneurial thinking and for young people to gain valuable business experience.
