Welcome to

JA Inspire is a virtual career exploration platform and much more; it brings together the business community and local schools and is designed to launch you, as students, into your FUTURE—high school, postsecondary education, and careers beyond.

You are about to explore the 16 career clusters along with local exhibitor booths. You are able to view webinars and presentations in the auditorium, visit an Activity Lab to explore more work and career readiness activities, and save documents and videos in your own virtual backpack to send home.

This engaging experience is a powerful way for you to learn about real-world career opportunities and your local economy. We hope you will feel INSPIRED to set new goals for high school and future careers after you complete this unique learning opportunity!
