About the partnership

What is the Euroclear Foundation x JA partnership?

The Euroclear Foundation and JA Europe have extended their collaboration into a new multi-year strategic partnership that expands access to JA's proven entrepreneurship, work readiness, and financial literacy programmes.

Over three academic years, from 2025 to 2028, the initiative aims to reach 20,000 underserved young people aged 15 to 20 across 14 countries in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the USA.

Why it matters

Removing barriers. Creating pathways.

Too many young people are held back by circumstances they did not choose, including limited access to education, lack of role models, or the economic realities of their communities.

This partnership targets underserved youth specifically, creating inclusive pathways to success, enhancing educational outcomes, and supporting access to employment.

How it works

Two workstreams. One mission.

The partnership operates through two complementary workstreams, reaching underserved youth directly through national programmes and scaling financial literacy globally through technology.

National Implementation

Hands-on entrepreneurship and work-readiness programmes delivered in 14 countries, targeting underserved youth aged 15 to 20.

Activities include entrepreneurship workshops, business simulations, mentoring with Euroclear employees, job shadowing, and the Euroclear Financial Excellence Award at Gen-E.
