Junior Achievement
Junior Achievement programs introduce students to economic concepts and workplace skills. Teaching students about business and economics is accomplished through the help of volunteers who serve as role models. Classes use fun hands-on activities that reinforce skills and knowledge in social studies, reading, writing and math. Teamwork is encouraged, and development of workplace skills is a priority.
The Business Solutions Center solicits volunteers from the business community and partners them with EIU Business students to teach the courses. The BSC secures funding (costs $500 per class) in order to make the program available to Middle School students at no charge.
