The JA Marketplace is Back This Saturday

The JA Malta Company Programme offers post-secondary students the opportunity to run their own company!

Every year JA Company Programme Students hold a Marketplace to showcase and sell their products!

Students take a business idea and make it a reality over the course of one academic year.

Participants attend workshops and are mentored by industry professionals as they navigate the business world.

The range of products the students design, build and sell varies from one team to another.

This Saturday is a very important moment for the participating students.

After having launched their products last December and relied on online sales and small fairs this is when they all get together and set up a marketplace.

All 19 teams will be present hoping to sell and impress the judges!

And of course you are invited to come and see for yourself!

These are the companies and their products which you can find at the Marketplace this Saturday.
