On Saturday, February 17th, Junior Achievement (JA) hosted their third annual JA Company Program Trade Fair. Southwest’s very own Honors Business Managemententrepreneur companies COZY (fashion t-shirts), Untangld (leather cord organizers) and WoodWorx (recycled wood décor) set up shop in the center court area of Northeast Mall in Hurst, TX to sell their products, gain retail experience and compete for awards. They were joined by 16 other young entrepreneur companies from Boswell, Chisholm Trail, Eaton, Paschal and Saginaw. Our students demonstrated excellent soft skills, a streamlined sales process, and a high-level of professionalism. Please congratulate all of our young entrepreneurs when you see them!
