🔒Junior Achievement student exchange program comes to CT

Twenty high school students from Shanghai, China, and 16 high school students from Connecticut met for one week in August in a landmark Junior Achievement international exchange program, JA Global Connection, sponsored by United Technologies Corp. The students, program leaders and sponsors spent the week learning about American and Chinese business, entrepreneurism, global trade and leadership through workshops and field trips to leading business facilities. In addition, the students worked together to create a business plan and will continue to implement it when the Connecticut students visit China next summer.
