Avanade and JA Partner Through Technology

July 1, 2020

As the world continues to struggle with the COVID-19 crisis, JA Worldwide is incredibly grateful for our global partnership with Avanade, which continues to engage and support at all levels of the JA network. Our collaboration has helped JA respond and adapt at an accelerated rate to meet the needs of our global community and the students we serve during this unprecedented time. Some of the activities that Avanade is supporting include the following: 

  • As JA Worldwide’s Global Technology Partner, Avanade provides pro-bono resources and support to the JADE (JA Data Experience) global data project

  • Support for regional projects with JA USA, JA Americas, and JA Europe

  • Country-level partnerships with assistance and support for digital innovation and transformation

  • Avanade employee-volunteering with student mentorship and participation in virtual career skills workshops and design-thinking innovation camps

  • Training on Office 365 and Microsoft Teams to aid remote working and create virtual student/staff events

Special thanks to Avanade, its senior leadership, and its staff for their time, financial support, and resources that enable JA to continue to adapt to today’s world, as young people need JA now more than ever.
