2 JAYE Launch Event

Saturday, Oct 16th was the official launch for this year’s JAYE Company Programme and allowed students an opportunity to meet others and discover their entrepreneurial potential with a fun and interactive treasure hunt in Valletta.

Junior Achievement Young Enterprise (JAYE) Malta Foundation is a member nation of Junior Achievement (JA) Worldwide which represents a global network of non-profit organisations sharing a common mission and purpose to be leaders in the field of enterprise education. JAYE Malta aims to spur economic development through improving young people’s understanding of business, economics, employability and entrepreneurship. One of our VIS teams won the challenge. Monther Baara writes, “We feel as though the Saturday event was a good opportunity for bonding with teammates and future JAYE partners. It also taught us the importance of teamwork and how we can get things done efficiently if we work as a team and we can’t wait for more opportunities to show what we’re capable of at JAYE.” Read more about them at https://jayemalta.org/ [Ms Currie]
