WEF Includes JA ESP Among Education 4.0 Lighthouses

January 18, 2023

We're thrilled to announce that JA has been included among the 16 World Economic Forum Education 4.0 Lighthouses, global examples of transformative public-private educational collaborations that are designed to serve as inspiration for educators, parents, policymakers, and employers.

The featured Lighthouse is the JA Entrepreneurial Skills Pass (ESP), one of the world's first global microcredentials for high school students, which stems from the JA Company Program. Participation in the ESP—which started as a collaboration between JA Europe and the European Commission—has grown to include 52 countries in four JA regions, with a goal of credentialing 100,000 JA students by 2025. Read more about ESP and review the other 15 educational initiatives that made the list.
