Junior Achievement of Arizona Revolutionizes the Virtual Job Fair Via vFairs
The JA Inspire program will be available on-demand year-round, and will help students in Arizona explore career and education opportunities and visit virtual booths from local employers through an immersive virtual environment.
TEMPE, Ariz., April 21, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Combining cutting edge technology and interactive experience with access to real Arizona employers, JA Inspire revolutionizes career readiness for middle and high school students in Arizona. Through this platform students can browse 100 virtual employer booths representing Arizona's top industries and businesses looking to fill their future pipelines.
JA Inspire is a virtual event hosted by Junior Achievement Arizona that is available on demand throughout the year. Helping students connect with their interests and talents, and careers that align, the event allows students to take career exploration to another level. Employers come from top industries and businesses looking to fill their future pipelines.
The program offers students pre-event preparatory lessons and career assessments, access to webinars, career resources, a virtual scavenger hunt, and their own virtual backpack to store downloadable content.
The success of JA Inspire is largely due to vFairs user-friendly platform providing realistic graphics, customizable features, and fast customer service. Creating the virtual space in which students can explore would not have been possible without their partnership.
80% of JA Alumni report that Junior Achievement played an important role in choosing their career path, their decision to pursue further education and in the belief they could achieve their own goals.
"JA Inspire allows Arizona students to see new, tangible possibilities for their future in an innovative and exciting way," said Katherine Cecala, President of Junior Achievement of Arizona. "By connecting them with local employers, we are creating a well-prepared future workforce and filling pipelines for industry leaders in the state."
