RBC has made a $61,000 investment in Junior Achievement of Peterborough Lakeland Muskoka (JA-PLM) to help the organization deliver its day programs, World of Choices, and Business Hall of Fame events.
Scott Mancini, regional vice-president of Kawartha-Lakeshore region for RBC, presented a cheque earlier today (October 10) to JA-PLM board chair Paul Ayotte and JA-PLM President and CEO John McNutt.
Junior Achievement’s in-class programs, delivered by volunteers, provide students with knowledge on personal and business skills, such as money management, the role of business in shaping our lives, building blocks for a successful career, the impact of technology and innovation, running a business, and more.
RBC will also be the title sponsor for the 2018 Business Hall of Fame in Peterborough, as well as the title sponsor for the annual World of Choices event in Peterborough and for five pilot World of Choices events to be held in Kingston, Sault Saint Marie, Thunder Bay, Sudbury, and Cornwall, where almost 900 youth from high schools in the those communities will learn from local career mentors in a career-oriented roundable format forum.
