The JA Company Program Blended Model unlocks the innate ability in students to solve a problem or fill a need in their community through an entrepreneurial spirit.

The program is available for both in-school or after-school implementation, and may be completed during one-semester or throughout an entire school year. Two implementation options are available: 13 two-hour meetings or 26 one-hour meetings focused on the Company Ops.

Company Ops is that portion of the meeting during which students build and manage their business. This usually will take the majority of the meeting time.
Deeper Dives are optional activities or suggestions on how to extend the meeting topic. Students work individually or in groups.
