SA Junior Achievement Eesti
“Help young people to gain business experience and contribute to a better future for the economy of Estonia”
www.ja.ee
Do you know that 37% of young people want to make the world a better place via entrepreneurship? 80% of pupils say that they lack the possibility to develop their creativity and employ their entrepreneurial talents at school. These were the results of the survey on attitudes towards entrepreneurship at Estonian schools carried out by SA Junior Achievement Eesti.
The objective of SA Junior Achievement Eesti is to support the development of enterprising Estonia. We wish that all young people would acquire an enterprising attitude towards life at school, that they would learn to plan their finances and they could try being an entrepreneur risk-free. The best possibility to acquire all this knowledge and at the same time, obtain respective skills, is to participate in the “Student company” programme. By running a student company the young people get business experience – this expands their career possibilities remarkably, gives them self-confidence, and develops their creativity, as well as their teamwork and communication skills. The young people who have participated in the “Student company” programme cope better in the labour market and with everyday life. They are the engine of the progress of Estonia’s economy.
