About

JA Inspire is a career-pathway program for 9th – 12th grade students brought to life by our region’s employers. It allows central Ohio high school students the opportunity to explore the careers of the future and equip them with critical work readiness skills, ultimately preparing them for success. JA Inspire connects students to our community’s top industries and businesses via our on-demand virtual experience with three parts: (1) online, pre-event career assessment and preparatory lesson(s); (2) the virtual career experience; and (3) a visit to our in-person career fair on May 10th. Combined, this program offers valuable context for students’ career and educational pathway planning. Within the virtual experience, students explore local and national company career booths, download resources, view videos on career pathways, and have the opportunity to interact with industry experts from many different Ohio businesses, in a safe and virtual experience that can be adapted for in-person/remote or synchronous/asynchronous learning.
