JA Build Your Future™
JA
Build Your Future is a new app that helps teens, their parents and teachers
break down the cost of achieving young people’s career goals into real, easy to
understand numbers. Created jointly by Junior Achievement USA and PwC, JA Build Your Future helps
teens explore potential future income from a desired career and evaluate the
cost of post-secondary education to help them make informed decisions.
In JA Build Your Future, teens
can assess more than 100 careers, see what levels of education are required,
then calculate the cost of education. Teens can then adjust the level of money
they and their parents may contribute, combined with student loans they may
need to secure. At the end of the exercise, teens are given a Return on
Investment (ROI) score between 1 and 5. The score helps teens and their parents
create a roadmap for success that will take them from choosing a career to
calculating the cost of achieving it.
JA
