In preparation for their grade level JA Biztown experience, sixth graders engaged in mock interviews with local community members, administrators, and business owners. This experience allowed students to develop communication skills, boost their confidence, and gain insights into various career paths. Our gracious interviewers provided students with helpful feedback allowing them to reflect on their strengths and areas for improvement. The students shared their interests, activities and career aspirations inspiring them to continue reaching for their goals. Now that the students have all received their jobs, the 6th graders will work in their businesses to gain valuable skills in financial literacy, business management and teamwork.
