About:
JA E2 is an incredible program opportunity for students to have the Austin entrepreneur experience while networking with inspiring and diverse professional role models, empowering them with self-confidence in their own abilities. E2 is designed to empower students to discover their future potential, continue developing their entrepreneurial mindset, meet new people, and build confidence while having fun!
The JA E2 experience kicks off in the classroom with JA It's My Business!® or JA Be Entrepreneurial® These programs introduce students to the process of design thinking as a problem- solving process and provides an authentic entrepreneurial experience for students with each session building toward a pitch competition.
On the day of the JA E2 field trip- Students are paired with mentors to help refine their presentation, practices public speaking, etc. The day concludes with a pitch competition and awards ceremony.
