Junior Achievement of Lincoln is getting ready to kick off their 2012 Driven Youth Invitational. This is a free, 7-week program open to all Lincoln-area high school students. The program will be on Tuesday evenings, September 18th- November 6th (no class October 16th) from 6:00-7:30pm at Kaplan University. Students will learn the ins and outs of creating and running a business, create their own condensed business plan and even have the chance to win a scholarship. Each week, students will connect and learn from some of Lincoln’s most successful and renowned entrepreneurs.
