JA Inspire is a re-imagined, virtual career exploration fair that allows Northern California participants to explore the careers of the future and equip them with critical work readiness skills, ultimately preparing them for success.
The only program of its kind in Northern California, JA Inspire connects participants to top industries and businesses via our on-demand virtual experience through three parts: (1) online, pre-event career assessment and preparatory lesson(s); (2) the virtual career exploration experience; and (3) a post-event reflection and debrief. Combined, this program offers valuable context for participants’ career and educational pathway planning.
Within the virtual experience, participants attend webinars, explore local and national company career booths, download resources and view videos exploring different career pathways. There is also the opportunity to interact with industry experts from many different California businesses, in a safe, virtual learning experience that can be adapted for in-person, remote or synchronous/asynchronous learning.
