“At Truist we partner with organizations committed to closing the digital divide, including offering enhanced online learning experiences,” said Arnold Evans, enterprise ethics officer at Truist and JA USA board member. “The pandemic amplified educational inequities, and expanding JA BizTown Adventures allows more young people to take part in this meaningful learning opportunity to build skills for future success.”

JA Biztown课程为教育工作者提供了课程和资源，以将工作和职业准备和财务素养整合到课堂上。该计划支持批判性思维技能和学生参与度，并帮助学生通过在学校或远程学习以及现实世界中在学校学习的内容之间联系在一起。
