b) Junior Achievement
Junior Achievement Portugal is a non-profit association committed
to bringing training programmes to schools to help children and
young people develop a taste for entrepreneurship. In this regard,
the following programmes have been developed: ‘A Família’ (The
Family) (1st grade students), ‘A Comunidade’ (The Community) (2nd
grade students), ‘Economia para o Sucesso’ (Economy for Success)
(9th grade students), andmore recently, ‘A Europa’ (The Europe) (5th
and 6th grade students) and ‘É o Meu Negócio’ (This is My Business)
(7th and 8th grade students).
In the scope of the Oporto of the Future project, each company is
asked to send a group of volunteers who oversee these training
programmes in the enrolled classes of the partner school during
each school year. In 2015, Ibersol counted with the participation
of seven volunteers who trained 114 students from schools in the
António Nobre School Grouping.
