Youth Entrepreneurship Program, A Business of Our Own

Junior Achievement of British Columbia (JABC) and the Nanaimo Chamber of Commerce are pleased to present the first annual A Business of Our Own – Company Challenge. The Challenge has adopted the foundation set in place by the previously run KidVentures program and yet is an up-to-date initiative that is curriculum linked, student centred and skills focused; giving youth the confidence and skills they need to become the next generation of business and community leaders.

A Business of Our Own is a five-week Junior Achievement program that will run in ten local classrooms. The A Business of Our Own – Company Challenge is made available to schools and students at no cost; all materials and supplies are provided free of charge.
