In the new virtual simulation, students will:
-- Select their own avatar and interests.
-- Review information about career clusters to select their career path and education.
-- Set up to three savings goals for future items such as homeownership or dream car.
-- Research, shop, and pay for various categories.
-- Make financial decisions across multiple life stages.
-- Choose their own future as it relates to marriage, children, and pets.
-- Track progress of their budgeting, spending, and saving through a financial health meter.
This program has a primary focus of the JA Financial Literacy Pathway and a secondary focus of the JA Work and Career Readiness Pathway and can be used in grades 7-12. The program is primarily teacher-led but requires volunteers. Spanish translation is available for the entry level curriculum.
As part of this program, 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.
JA programs support national and state standards in reading, mathematics, social studies, and work and career readiness. See below for more information on alignment with national and state standards.
