Junior Achievement Partnership
Program Overview

For more than 80 years, Junior Achievement has been giving young people the knowledge and skills necessary to create opportunities, make good choices and have a sense of hope for their future. Each of the Junior Achievement programs is designed for a particular age group and introduces students to concepts that will ultimately enhance their understanding of the world around them. The programs complement the class curricula and are easily integrated into the lesson plans at each grade level. JA’s sequential and integrated programs help young people use information, apply basic skills, think critically and solve complex problems.

The Burnett Honors College has long been known for providing quality instruction in our classrooms and laboratories so that our honors graduates are prepared for rich and productive lives in the workplace. We have now expanded our educational horizons so that our students are well educated for citizenship as well as for careers. As a public institution of higher learning, UCF is committed to strong partnerships with the Orlando area public schools. We endorse that commitment and have established exciting service opportunities for our students in those schools where they will grow as socially responsible young women and men who fully understand the importance of being civically engaged.
