JSO Academy | Vacation Business School

 
 
 

On August 9th, our office buzzed with energy as we hosted our very first JSO Academy event—Vacation Business School! We had the pleasure of welcoming 17 bright and enthusiastic high school students for a day jam-packed with learning, laughter, and a whole lot of fun. From hands-on workshops and a lively career panel to interactive activities that had everyone on their feet, the day was anything but ordinary. And let’s not forget the highlight: a thrilling Shark Tank competition where the students pitched their ideas and walked away with some awesome prizes!

Our mission? To empower the next generation with the tools and knowledge they need to make smart choices—whether it's managing their money or navigating their future careers. We hope this unforgettable experience set the stage for them to become financial rock stars!
