OCHS Junior Achievement

For the seventh consecutive school year, UniFirst Corporation partnered with Owensboro Catholic High School (OCHS) for the Junior Achievement (JA) Program, JA Titan. JA Titan, an interactive web-based business simulation, introduces students to critical economics and management decisions.

Through this partnership, UniFirst Corporation provides both the financial and volunteer resources needed to supply the JA Titan program to five economics classrooms reaching all of the school's sophomore classes. During these sessions, volunteers covered topics such as how to develop a management team, how to establish the product price, how to incorporate marketing/research and development strategies, how to increase product demand as well as other important business tools. In each classroom, students were assigned to groups to form companies, who then competed among other student companies in their individual classrooms to see which team could obtain the best performance index percentage. The competition concluded once all teams submitted business reports for 30 simulated business quarters.

UniFirst employees who also served as JA volunteers included: Courtney Atherton, Amanda Billingsley, Laurie Castlen, Denise Jarboe, Jenni Long, Jacob McKay, Dave Roberts and David Rudd. The program volunteers were coordinated by Amanda Billingsley.
