STUDENT

Unlock your potential and experience what it’s really like to run a company — with real products, real decisions, and real impact. JA’s Company Program brings together ambitious students from across Northern Alberta for weekly in-person sessions where ideas come alive and leaders are made. You will develop valuable skills, work alongside inspiring mentors, and take part in high-energy events like JA’s Big Pitch, Executive Training, and the Northern Alberta Business Hall of Fame. And when you complete the program, you’ll have the chance to apply for scholarships and awards. This is your opportunity to build confidence, grow your network, and stand out — not someday, but right now. Ready to start something big?

MENTOR

Becoming a JA Company Program mentor isn’t just about guiding a team — it’s about changing the trajectory of a young person’s life. Our students step into this program eager, nervous, hopeful, and curious, and mentors are the steady hands that help them discover their confidence, their voice, and their potential. As a mentor, you become the person who believes in them before they fully believe in themselves — the role model they’ll remember long after the program ends. Your encouragement, your stories, your leadership, and even the small moments of connection can spark the kind of inspiration that stays with them for years. When you mentor with JA, you’re not just teaching business; you’re shaping futures, building leaders, and leaving a legacy that lives on in every student you support.
