An investment in these future leaders is an investment in our future prosperity.

Thank you for your supportEach day, we have the opportunity to see the positive impact Junior Achievement has made on our youth and our country.

As the largest youth business education organization in Canada, Junior Achievement plays an important role in developing Canada’s future leaders by providing them with the confidence and knowledge they need to define personal success, enhance their workforce readiness and pursue their dreams.

Our youth are the next generation of leaders who will drive Canada’s economy and success. An investment in these future leaders is an investment in our future prosperity.

Since 1955, over 4 million Canadian students have experienced a Junior Achievement program. More than 226,000 young Canadians in 9,472 classes experienced a Junior Achievement program delivered by 13,500 committed business mentors last year.

Our mentors provide relevant hands on experiences in financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship to students in elementary through high school.

This year’s “Yearbook” highlights the significant steps the organization has made in: • reaching more youth with relevant and impactful programs;

• building a network of partnerships that positively support program development and delivery; and,

• showcasing the stories of success both in our inspirational leaders of tomorrow and the mentors of today.

With a new three-year strategic plan, the organization is ready to reach even greater heights. Moving forward, Junior Achievement will work with our partners to ensure the reach of our programs continues to grow. We will launch new and innovative programs to ensure Junior Achievement offers a suite of world-class curriculum, including new digital programs and extensions for our existing programs. In addition, we will work to showcase the success stories of Junior Achievement alumni who are the foundation of Canada’s economy.

The development of entrepreneurship, financial literacy and work readiness skills are key to our youth’s future success. It is ensured by providing the support, tools and resources they need to realize their dreams.

Thank you for your support.

Since 1955, over 4 million Canadian students have experienced a Junior Achievement program.

Learning from real-life business leaders is the unique value of Junior Achievement programs. With the support of over 13,500 mentors across Canada, Junior Achievement is inspiring youth to explore their career possibilities, to learn how to manage their finances, to start a company and to realize their potential.Junior Achievement mentors are providing youth with the skills and knowledge necessary to become innovative,

productive and contributing citizens. Positive role models from all walks of life participate in the delivery of Junior Achievement programs each year.Mentors inspire youth to develop career plans, make informed financial decisions, start companies, and express their innovative spirits to prepare students to take on the role of future leaders.

Our programs enable young people to gain financial responsibility, make confident decisions, and become innovators. Junior Achievement provides students with knowledge on personal and business skills such as money management, the role of business in shaping our lives, building blocks for a successful career, the impact of technology and innovation, running a business and more. Junior Achievement programs are developed in alignment with our three pillars: entrepreneurship; financial literacy and work readiness.

Work Readiness

Canada’s future success depends on talented youth who take responsibility for their success with values and attitudes that inspire performance throughout their careers. Changing workplace demands, demographic shifts and a global competition for talent makes the world of work a more challenging environment than ever before. Youth must be prepared to meet the expectations of this reality by having a better sense of their abilities, a perspective on their careers and an understanding of what it takes to perform. Junior Achievement programs like Economics for Success help students develop the skills needed to succeed in the workplace.

Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship is one of Canada’s greatest strengths. Junior Achievement helps accelerate the growth of young people by providing them with the experience and expertise needed to become successful entrepreneurs. Through Junior Achievement programs, such as the Company Program, students are developing the core business skills necessary for becoming the successful and creative leaders of tomorrow. Junior Achievement programs enable a better understanding of the role small business plays in Canada, and of the positive impact entrepreneurship has on communities.

Financial LiteracyThere is no doubt that early behaviour and skill development are essential in ensuring lifelong financial success. By building knowledge at an early age, we are preparing our youth to make sound financial decisions throughout their lives.

Our programs like Dollar with Sense and Economics for Success provide tools and programs that put financial literacy concepts into practice by helping youth connect basic economics to their daily lives.

The opportunities and experiences that Junior Achievement provides definitely puts its achievers ahead...with the first step to becoming leaders of tomorrow.

Dreams are built on beliefs ... the most important belief is that I can. The greatest gift we can give to young people is to dream, to dare, and to believe in themselves.

For Junior Achievement, engaging youth beyond the classroom is key and includes special events like the Next Generation Leaders Forum (NGL). The world’s top young business minds participated in NGL in Kingston, Ontario in August 2011. The 41st annual Next Generation Leaders Forum was hosted by Queen’s University School of Business and presented by Xerox Canada and Scotiabank. The event was designed to connect business leaders with youth to explore, understand and debate real time business challenges of our global economy.

This week-long intensive event brought together more than 125 delegates from around the world, who attended keynote presentations, skills workshops, and took part in the Ultimate Business Challenge.

A highlight of the event included fireside conversations with Isadore Sharpe, Founder and Chairman, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, and Cherry Tabb, Co-Founder and CEO, The Herzig Eye Institute, as well as Jim Doherty, Vice President and General Manager, Central Sales Operations, Xerox Canada.

“Junior Achievement is a one-of-a-kind program for the world’s next generation of business leaders,” says Jim Doherty, Chair, Junior Achievement of Canada.

Coming together to learn and experienceN E X T G E N E R A T I O N L E A D E R S

Junior Achievement programs empower students to make a connection between what they learn in school and how it can be applied in the real world. Junior Achievement enhances the relevance of their classroom experience with an interactive program delivered by business mentors.

In 2011/2012, Junior Achievement offered 16 programs, which were delivered to students in elementary, middle and secondary classrooms.

More than 226,000 students benefitted from Junior Achievement programming with the support of 13,500 dedicated volunteer mentors. Last year, we increased our reach by over 10,000 students compared to 2010/2011. The business mentors committed over 232,000 hours of volunteer time.

In addition to increasing reach to Canadian students, Junior Achievement continued to focus on building world-class curriculum.

• As part of Junior Achievement’s commitment to providing relevant, innovative and meaningful programs, accreditation by Curriculum Services Canada (CSC) will be a key requirement for all new programs.

• We took substantial steps forward to offer the online delivery system that expands reach to youth. Key Junior Achievement programs underwent a series of enhancements through the use of such technologies as Smart boards and online applications.

• We increased our capacity by adding a new Program Coordinator to support the implementation of programs across Canada.

Future ProgramsJunior Achievement is working with entrepreneurial author and expert Larry Farrell to develop a new program aimed at encouraging the entrepreneurial spirit in our youth. The new program, which will be launched in Fall 2013 is proudly supported by Business Development Bank of Canada.

Junior Achievement is also developing a new Junior Achievement Success Skills program with Accenture to provide students with the skills to identify and demonstrate work-readiness. Success Skills will expand on the characteristics and practices of successful entrepreneurs and on the skills needed to research, get and keep a job. This interactive program will be available in schools starting Fall 2013.

Today’s youth are tomorrow’s leaders and Queen’s School of Business is proud to be working with Junior Achievement to inspire and challenge young people to succeed in the world of business.

Junior Achievement understands that in order to succeed tomorrow, students need to learn from the experience and success of today. Established by Junior Achievement of Canada in 1979, the Canadian Business Hall of Fame recognizes and celebrates the lifetime accomplishments of Canada’s most distinguished business leaders. Having demonstrated the qualities necessary to ensure the success and competitiveness of Canada in a global economy, they have been selected for their achievements in business, for the significant contributions they have made to the people of Canada, and for the examples they have set for others. Companions are nominated by their peers and are chosen by an independent selection committee representing Canada’s foremost business, academic and media institutions. Knightsbridge Human Capital Solutions manages the annual nominations and selection process for the highest honour in Canadian business. These award winners and those of the past showcase the power of knowledge, entrepreneurship and the commitment to imagining what is possible. Inductees share in the legacy of inspiring and preparing our next generation of leaders through the activities of Junior Achievement and the Canadian Business Hall of Fame.

It is my honour to welcome these individuals into the Canadian Business Hall of Fame, where they join an elite community of past and present business visionaries. Their drive, skill and sense of service, and the role they play in the development and prosperity of Canada, have truly set them apart.
