Achievement (JA) is an international non-profit organization
started in 1919 in USA. Junior Achievement uses hands-on
experiences to help young people understand the economics of
life. In partnership with business and educators, Junior
Achievement brings the real world to students, opening their
minds to their potential. Junior Achievement has almost
seven million members in 120 countries.
Junior Achievement China (JA China) was established with the
help of the Paul Zhou and the foundation sponsored by his
family in 1993. And it was registered in 1995. To meet the
increasing demand, JA china now has 19 programs and
activities in more than 160 schools in Shanghai, Beijing,
Guangzhou and Hong Kong, to teach young people how to
develop their business skills. During last year, there are
62, 315 students participating in classes in china.
In September of 2003, JA China came to Shanghai University
of Finance and Economics. So far, we have been twice awarded
with the only ¡®excellent team¡¯. The various activities we
carried out mainly including three parts as follows:
Regular courses
Regular courses are the most important programs of JA SHUFE.
We can receive more than 650 applications every semester,
some of which are from other schools. And about 180 students
can finally take part in the courses on the average. We have
opened seven series of courses and the scale of our courses
is the largest one in all universities in Shanghai.
We provide three courses. They are MESE, CG (Career go) and
GBE (Global Business Ethics).
The software of MESE is designed for all grades students who
want to learn how businesses are organized and operated. The
students are entitled to make a series of decisions, such as
price, marketing, R&D investment and so on. Throughout the
competition of 6-8 companies in charge of these students,
they can gain skills they needed to succeed in business
after they leave school.
The target of CG is to help undergraduates to be ready for
the job hunting. They can be more familiar and confident
after listening to the experience of job interview of
consultants. And some consultants are HR. Their sharing
broadens the horizon of students and does good to their
future.
The goal of GBE is to teach young people that businesses
should support
environmental and social issues and should operate honestly.
Students can build a better core value by case study and
group discuss.
Special events
Apart from those courses, we also have some special events,
GE Workshop, Leadership forum, etc.
Junior Achievement Volunteer day£¨JAVD£©is one of the most
important international events every year. It is a festival
of volunteers on 21st October. Many successful businessmen
come to the campuses that day, sharing their opinions and
experience with students. JA SHUFE celebrates the JAVD with
two activities: Lecture and CG Workshop. CG Workshop is the
essence of CG, aiming at developing students¡¯ ability of
career planning and job interviewing. There are more than
1500 students benefiting from JAVD in SHUFE.
In September of 2005, we organized a GBE case-study
competition of 6 university including Fudan University, Jiao
tong University and Shanghai University. The considerate and
well-prepared organization won the praise of other
Universities.
Volunteer recruiting
We recruit the volunteer teachers for middle and primary
schools in SHUFE every year. It yields a wide influence
among students and we were glad to receive 100 applications
in a week,
During the past 3 years, we earned a good reputation among
institutions and universities in Shanghai with the strong
support of our teachers and the great efforts of our team
members, More than 1500 students have attend our activities.
And 300 odd among them are inspired by voluntary spirit and
became a member of our team. To our widest joy, we have been
twice awarded with the only ¡®excellent team¡¯ of all
universities. In addition, our experience is learnt and
adopted by other universities, which can improve the overall
level of JA Shanghai.
