Overview: Sun West and Junior Achievement Partnership for Grade 68Career Education:

Sun West School Division partnered with Junior Achievement Saskatchewan in support of career development competencies of students through a business lens. Grade 8 Career Education Teachers will continue to deliver Junior Achievement’s Dollars with Sense (Gr. 8) program to our students.

Junior Achievement focuses on the pillars of Financial Literacy, Entrepreneurship, and Work Readiness. The programs include combinations of whole class, team, and individual activities. Junior Achievement kits were sent to schools and categorized in our libraries. The materials are very detailed containing necessary resources, student preparation portfolios, and the teacher inspiration guide. The Student Preparation Portfolio consumables have been sent to schools.

As well, Junior Achievement has updated their online portal and created both Teacher-led and Student self-directed modules. These modules can be used alongside the physical kits – lots of options! Course Access Codes for the online portal have been shared with CD LEAD Teachers and Administrators. The access codes are also included in the packages sent to schools. If any support needed,
