JA Philippines and FactSet have partnered to launch the “JA Careers with a Purpose” program, designed to equip Grade 11 and 12 public school students with essential work readiness skills.
This initiative, supported by the Department of Education, brought together 54 volunteers and reached over 2,000 students in the Negros and Victorias Divisions. The program included a series of discussions on work readiness topics such as social studies, business, consumer economics, and more, receiving an impressive 87.5% rating from participants.
A standout feature of the program was the FactSet Careers with a Purpose Competition, which engaged students by assessing their understanding of career concepts while empowering them with professional skills. Participants submitted papers outlining their career goals for the next decade, showcasing their readiness for future careers. Testimonials from students highlighted the program’s life-changing impact, emphasizing newfound confidence in career decisions and the importance of discovering one’s purpose.
As this initiative grows, it continues to empower students with the skills needed for future success, fostering the next generation of leaders.
