This presentation is oriented to all engineers and architects of any discipline of practice, with the intention to familiarize local professionals with the work the Junior Achievement (JA) is doing on the Eastern Shore to change the lives of young people. 

During this presentation, we are planning to tour the new JA facility in Salisbury, MD, and meet with local STEM program leaders.  JA of the Eastern shore partners with local consultants, contractors, industries, and educational providers with a focus on real-world education, work readiness, and entrepreneurship.
