Junior Achievement is the largest non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring and preparing youth to succeed in today’s global economy. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Company Program is designed to increase the understanding of the role of business in our society. It does this by supporting high school students in the creation of an enterprise of their own.  Collaborating with professionals who volunteer as mentors, students design, organize and operate a real business and fully experience how an enterprise functions.
 
Students meet after school at KPMG’s offices in the Bay Adelaide Centre, every Tuesday evening from November until the first week of April.  Dinners are provided.  From time to time, students are expected to meet in groups on their own time.
