Junior Achievement Jamaica in partnership with Scotiabank is hosting its 7th annual Scotia Bank Road to Success Programme.
This programme is designed to provide young people with the necessary tools through hands-on workshops to help them succeed in life and successfully face economic challenges.
The objective of the programme is to raise awareness among youth about the importance of managing their finances and to have clear professional goals, interests, and values for a successful future.
Jamaica is one of fifteen countries participating in the Programme and it includes three phases:
