The Junior Achievement Programme is an initiative led by the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) in collaboration with public and private sector organisations including the St Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla National Bank. The programme is geared at kindling a burning passion for business in local high school students. These students are responsible for identifying a business opportunity, operating this business and subsequently bringing it to liquidation.

National Bank knows the value of cultivating these necessary skill sets and knowledge in our youth because harnessing such skills would enable young people to mature into business savvy adults. National has played a vital role in its advisory function to participating students by providing insight into challenges the business world sometimes presents, at a time when the development of the business sector is central to the overall growth of the local economy.

The JA Trade Fair took place on May 5, 2006 in the Independence Square. Although initially threatened by bad weather, the event proceeded to blossom into a huge success. This Fair provided students with the opportunity to showcase and sell their products and services to the general public as well as providing a forum for National as platinum sponsor to demonstrate its support.
