Junior Achievement programs drive youth entrepreneurship in El Salvador and Argentina

Youth entrepreneurship programs led by Junior Achievement are facilitating business development for students in El Salvador and Argentina.

In El Salvador, participants in the ‘La Compañía’ program are working at Campus JA to transform business ideas into practical projects. Through an alliance with Fundación Atlántida’s ‘Sabios & Expertos’ program, students receive mentorship from experienced professionals to develop skills in leadership, innovation, and financial management.

In Argentina, 479 students from 19 schools in Santa Fe participated in the ‘Aprender a emprender’ program. After undergoing training in planning, finance, and management, students are moving toward commercialization. Following a capitalization round at the Bolsa de Comercio de Rosario where 12 projects successfully sold shares, the students will present their products to the public at upcoming fairs in Alto Rosario Shopping and Ribera Shopping.
