we all advance
JA Inspire Virtual is a virtual career exploration fair targeting up to 8,000 8th, 11th
and 12th grade students introducing them to high growth/high demand career path-
ways. Students prepare with a blended curriculum leading up to the event and a com-
plete debrief on the experience following the day.
Students have the opportunity to revisit the virtual platform up to three months (90
days) after the initial event. JA Inspire is designed to have a deep impact on the stu-
dents as they connect with exhibitors who inspire students with an interactive experi-
ence and answer students’ questions about their:
• industry career paths • job responsibilities • business culture
Middle school students will have an opportunity to engage and participate virtually at
each vendor booth. High school seniors will have the added benefit of building a
network of potential employers in their local area.
You get to make a difference three ways:
• inspiring students by sharing great things about your business
• monetarily contributing to JA programs through a sponsorship
• marketing your company to students, educators, parents, and other businesses.
A POWERFUL CAREER EXPLORATION EVENT
The online platform is made up of the following areas:
VIRTUAL LOBBY
Where all students enter as they move amongst avatars. Through additional
sponsorship - Company banners can direct students to the company’s career
booth.
• Information Center: Ask questions about the day.
• Auditorium: Join others in watching webinars
• Halls: Find company booths within the hall
VIRUAL HALLS
Students move through the virtual halls, visiting companies that are of interest to
them. There is an exhibitor index that allows students to easily find companies by
name. Or scroll through the businesses, stopping by to visit and get information.
Display a banner to promote your business throughout all halls by selecting a
top-level sponsorship package.
