Our Testimonials

“I think that JA’s support of the Trades is a gamechanger for our industry. For too long have we been viewed as a fallback career and not one that is pursued by youth of all academic levels. With JA’s help we will change the stigma and see trades-minded youth encouraged to become tradespeople.”

– Craig Mortlock, A.Sc.T., LEED AP, Mortlock Construction Inc.

“When I was part of the JA Company Program, I never stopped learning. Every mistake was a chance to learn and every success was an opportunity to share with others in my finance team. As someone who is constantly curious about the world, JA provided a stimulating environment that allowed me to explore different industries in business and see what best worked for me.”

– Megan, Company Program student

“If I can make a difference to one person in that classroom and let them know it’s okay, I feel so much better.”

– Amy Jones, World of Choices volunteer

“I don’t know what I’d do without JA this year. They have provided real-world, well written examples for financial literacy.”

– Marcus Elia, Public School Teacher
