Overview

JAT (Junior Achievement) Tanzania is a member of JA Worldwide. As one of the world’s largest youth-serving NGOs, JA Worldwide activates youth for the future of jobs.
Through the delivery of hands-on, blended learning in financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship, we empower young people to grow their entrepreneurial ideas, hone their work skills, manage their earnings and secure better lives for themselves, their families, and their communities.

With more than 100 member countries, the JA Worldwide network is powered by over 470,000 volunteers and mentors, who serve more than 10 million young people around the world each year. Every year approximately 7 to 10 million young people in the region enter into a weak labor market, where high unemployment, low productivity, and poverty-level income are commonplace.

JA Tanzania provides young people with the tools and skills they need to be prepared for their professional futures either as entrepreneurs who create jobs for themselves and others or as employees who add value to their employers. JA’s primary strengths are in curriculum development and delivery.

JA Tanzania under the sponsorship of Barclays Bank Tanzania is implementing for the second time an Internship Program (Work Based Experience) to reach 200 graduates.
