COMING TO PETERBOROUGH THIS SUMMER
On August 10-14, 2015 Junior Achievement
will welcome over 150 global youth business
leaders to the annual Next Generation Leaders
Forum at Trent University in Peterborough,
ON. These future business leaders from
across the globe will connect with leading
experts from business schools and industry
during a unique once in a lifetime opportunity.
Since 1969, 6,750 students from around the
world have attended.
Next Generation Leaders attendees are
individually selected as top performers in
the Junior Achievement Company Program,
chosen to attend for their high potential and
the opportunity to advance their career.
These students are planning to embark on
their post-secondary ambitions with specific
interest in business-related careers.
The Next Generation Leaders experience is
a unique blend of personal growth, practical
experience and confidence building. Delegates face real business challenges and develop
strategies in collaboration with their global peers, university faculty and industry volunteers.
Having developed success skills that are essential to making their dreams a reality, delegates
return to their schools and communities with a new perspective on what is possible.
Innovation is the economic engine that will
drive prosperity in Canada and around the
world. In today’s complex and fast-moving
economy, leaders must be more productive
and everyone needs to think more creatively
and be more entrepreneurial. The Next
Generation Leaders Forum will challenge
youth from around the world to use their
innovative spirit and knowledge to solve real
business challenges. The experience will
allow tomorrow’s leaders to gain real-life
understanding of the power of innovation,
and the inspiration to realize their potential.
