JA Titan®
JA Titan introduces critical economics and management decisions through an interactive simulation and seven required, volunteer-led sessions. JA Titan will unite your class around the concepts of teamwork, critical thinking, and strategy development – and could provide your students with an opportunity to compete against others from around the world.
Following participation in the program, students will be able to:
- Clarify personal goals, ethics, and working styles by using decision-making skills from a business-leadership perspective.
