Junior Achievement of the Chisholm Trail Announces JA Inspire Virtual Event via vFairs, Helps 7500+ Middle & High Schoolers Explore Post-Secondary Opportunities
Junior Achievement of the Chisholm Trail plans to see twice the turnout, and build on the experience they offered through vFairs at their first virtual event in 2021.
FORT WORTH, Texas, March 7, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Junior Achievement of the Chisholm Trail today announced it will be hosting its second JA Inspire Virtual event for middle school and high school students on March 9, 2022 through the vFairs virtual event platform.
The JA Inspire Virtual helps students in grades 6-12 connect with professionals from some of the region's most prominent employers, while exploring career pathways and learning about the skills needed for in-demand jobs. Students connect their own interests to a variety of career opportunities and strengthen their coursework pathway for high school and beyond. The virtual platform offers students an entirely new education experience in the form of a college and career fair that was birthed out of the COVID-19 pandemic. Students can explore opportunities in a safe and interactive environment, while JA and participating employers and organizations can expand their reach beyond what a physical event could offer.
This event follows a successful first year hosting JA Inspire Virtual with vFairs in 2021. The past event welcomed 2800 students, whereas this year a turnout of over 7500 students is anticipated. The success of the event is attributed to the fact that Junior Achievement is able to effectively bring industry leaders into the classroom through this virtual environment, which solidifies education partners' trust in Junior Achievement as a strategic solutions provider.
"Pre-pandemic, Junior Achievement had some blended learning experiences for students, but JA Inspire Virtual, made possible through the vFairs platform, has increased our impact by making this sort of virtual education both informational and innovative for students," said Cindy Hames, President.
"We are so glad to act as a partner for Junior Achievement of the Chisholm Trail as they continue providing learning opportunities for students within an interactive virtual space," said Muhammad Younas, CEO of vFairs. "It is phenomenal seeing what Junior Achievement's teams are accomplishing, and how many students their events are affecting."
