JA Mascareignes
JA Mascareignes is dedicated to empowering young people through the implementation of JA programmes in primary and secondary schools, MITD centres, and other NGOs. We conduct workshops on entrepreneurship, financial management, and work readiness to equip students with vital skills. Additionally, we offer talks and seminars on these topics in various educational institutions and centres. Our programmes are also available online, making them accessible to a broader audience. We train educators and volunteers in economic and financial education, entrepreneurship, and work readiness, ensuring they can provide free training to young people. JA Mascareignes is committed to preparing the youth for successful futures and financial independence.
