Drs. David & Agnes Palmer
Junior Achievement Titan Competition
Congratulations to the 2011 top performing teams and their mentors!
JA Titan® allows high school students to apply their business knowledge by competing online in a fictional industry. While simulating business quarters, students make decisions on price, production, marketing, capital investment, and R&D. These decisions determine the success or failure of their virtual company.
Students within JA of the Heartland's territory get to put their skills and knowledge gained from JA Titan to the test by competing in the Drs. David & Agnes Palmer JA Titan Competition. Top performing teams are awarded scholarship money for post-secondary education.
For more information contact Leslie at leslie.corlett@ja.org.
"Encouraging our students to pursue business careers is a great way
to build competitive strength in our community. The JA Titan competition helps
encourage students to become the business leaders of tomorrow."
