Local students win scholarship
funds at junior achievement event
MANSFIELD - The inaugural Mansfield-Ar-
ea JA Career Readiness Conference was
held April 21, hosted by Junior Achieve-
ment of North Central Ohio. The event
was held at the Ohio State University –
Mansfield Campus.
The JA Career Readiness Conference is
a one-day event during which students
participate in hands-on activities to
develop their work readiness, financial
literacy and entrepreneurship skills.
One part of the Conference is the JA
Titan Challenge, a high school competi-
tion that uses Junior Achievement’s high
school JA Titan Program. The program
increases students’ understanding of
the real world of business. During the
competition, students experience how
success or failure of a business depends
on how well they manage key decisions
such as pricing, marketing strategies, and
R & D investments.
The winning team was Hunter Hold-
sworth, Eli Keneda, and Sami Trowbridge
from River View High School in Warsaw.
Each student receives a $400 scholarship
for their college education.
Sponsors for the event included Ariel
Corporation, K.E. McCarthy Associates,
and Miliron Iron and Metals.

grams, call 330-434-1875 or visit www.
