During this event, young people who hold executive positions in student-run JA companies learned all about the skillset and mindset to build a successful business. They will put everything they learned to work over the next few months, as they grow and develop these businesses as part of JA’s Company Program. 

Student Management Training focused on all areas of leadership development, including problem-solving, conflict management and work-readiness skills. As students face an uncertain future and a changing world of work, we know these skills will be vital for creating the workforce of the future. 

Students were joined by JA alumni and industry expert mentors, and were inspired by first-hand insights from JA Alumni Giancarlo Sessa - entrepreneur and co-founder of Blade Air. Giancarlo shared personal tips and mindset skills that helped him become a successful entrepreneur and instilled the importance of adaptability, resiliency, and consistent learning.
