In addition to several half-hour discussions with a facilitator of choice, the day's events included a keynote address, lunch hour speaker and entertainment. Approximately 150 high school students attend, and the Prairie charters take turns hosting the conference. This year, JASA is the proud host of this exciting event and plans are well underway. The main focus is a case study challenge. All companies registered in Company Program feature their products at the Trade Fair held on a Saturday morning at the JA Business Centre.
Sales are always brisk and provide an opportunity for all companies to reach their sales goals.
Shell Read, Learn, and Win Scholarships Junior Achievement, Sun Media, and Shell Canada Limited are once again offering the Read Learn and Win Scholarship program to high school students in Calgary, Edmonton, London, Ottawa, Toronto, and, for the first time, Winnipeg. The students who win scholarships have five years to register in a post-secondary institution and use the scholarship funds. Students read the Sun and have four weekly opportunities to answer questions about current events. Those students who answer the questions correctly are entered in a draw and have the chance of winning a scholarship. This fundraiser is an innovative and exciting event based on the principles of investing and trading where corporate guests learn more about the stock market by participating in a computer assisted stock market game.
