JA Europe Partners with ManpowerGroup and AT&T for Leaders-for-a-Day

April 16, 2018

Every year, JA Europe invites young graduates of the JA Company Program and the Entrepreneurial Skills Pass from across Europe to learn from a leader by shadowing them for a day. And today is the 2018 Leaders-for-a-Day!

After warm-up workshops yesterday led by ManpowerGroup and AT&T, JA Leaders-for-a-Day began at 9am, when 16 JA Europe students who applied for the privilege of working with top executives in Brussels started their day.

The aim is to empower young people to make informed career choices, enlarge their network and expand their career opportunities.  Watch the video below to learn more about the program, and then view some of our favorite tweets of the day!
