About JA Inspire
JA Inspire Career Exploration Fair
December 10th-12th, 2024
Rhode Island Convention Center
JA Inspire is a coalition of educators and industry leaders, led by Junior Achievement of Rhode Island. At the center of our work is a powerful career exploration fair.
The program includes a four-session curriculum prior to the career fair. The curriculum, available in English and Spanish, is accessed in a digital format and is teacher-led with independent learning activities for students. Physical copies can be made available on request. For a list and description of the curriculum, please visit our curriculum page here.
This year, the JA Inspire capstone experience will be an in-person career exploration fair for 8th grade students that takes place at the Rhode Island Convention Center from December 10th-12th, 2024 to learn about high school, college, and career opportunities available right here in Rhode Island.
Careers highlighted will include opportunities from local businesses, non-profits, government agencies, and educational organizations. Each booth may highlight career paths, education requirements, and salary ranges.
