 AI Competency Research

We’re excited to launch the JA Worldwide AI and Entrepreneurship Competency Survey, designed to assess students’ understanding of AI within entrepreneurial contexts and explore how AI training shapes the confidence and skills of young leaders.

The survey focuses on four key entrepreneurial competencies: self-efficacy, creativity, innovation, and problem-solving. It includes demographic and AI usage questions, along with self-assessment Likert items and knowledge-based questions that link back to the same core skills.

Who can participate?

JA alumni who are 16 years or older who have completed the JA Company Program from 2023–2025, or current students 16 years+ after completing their JA Company Program journey.
