JA BizTown Welcomes Microsoft & TAJ for 2024

by | Jan 20, 2025 | Current Events & News

For the 2024-2025 school year, Microsoft and Tax Administration Jamaica signed a partnership agreement with Junior Achievement Jamaica to be a part of our BizTown program for Grade 5 and 6 students across the country.  BizTown is an educational program that combines classroom learning with a hands-on, simulated community experience. The students learn about financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship for 6 weeks in the classrooms then visit BizTown where they take on various roles such as operating a bank, managing accounts, paying bills, and even voting for a mayor. 

Through this experience, students develop a basic understanding of the free enterprise system, money management skills, and the soft skills necessary for the workplace.
