How Can YOu...
Land your dream job
Manage your money to create more money
Live the life you want
The more you know about money, the more you make! When you have the knowledge and skills to make good financial decisions and plan for your future, anything is possible. Which means any time can be the right time to buy a car, rent an apartment, or make that big ticket purchase you’ve been dreaming of.
School, a car, housing and your social life can take a toll on your financial freedom. But JA’s Real World Ready programs can teach you the tools and skills you’ll need to make solid decisions, plan for your future, and invest for what is to come.
Earn a Digital Badge!
When a parent or guardian verifies that you have completed one of the three programs, you will receive a digital badge, endorsed by the Treasurer of California herself – Fiona Ma! The badge can be displayed on your social media, LinkedIn profile and also be listed on your college application and job resumes. The badges are great talking points in interviews when pursuing your career pathway. They also benefit you personally by developing your skills, and professionally as they promote your commitment to your future.
Plus, you’ll blow your friends’ minds by mastering what they haven’t even learned yet - the tricks to earning, managing and investing money. When you do, you’ll be on the road to financial freedom and a stress-free life.
