Connecting with Local Business Leaders: A Glimpse into the Real World

One of the highlights of JA Global Entrepreneurship Week is the unique opportunity it provides for students to connect with local business leaders. Junior Achievement of the Palm Beaches & Treasure Coast has partnered with The School District of Palm Beach County to make these connections possible.

Throughout the week, students will have the privilege of listening to inspirational stories and real-world experiences from area business leaders. These accomplished professionals will share invaluable insights on how students can harness the skills they're acquiring to prepare for a prosperous future in the entrepreneurial landscape.

Each November, GEW recognizes and empowers millions of entrepreneurs in every country and community around the world, especially individuals who face barriers or who have never considered the idea of launching their own business. Junior Achievement of the Palm Beaches & Treasure Coast is honored to bring GEW to life for local students and provide them with the knowledge, experience, and connections they need to succeed.
