Southern students expanded their Personal Finance experience and learning at Junior Achievement Finance Park. Students took part in exploring potential employers in the Louisville area (GE, Ford, UofL Health, Chemours, Publix, Chase and multiple others). During the 2nd part of the day, students completed a budgeting simulation based on a given scenario. They had to analyze the 4 key components of budgeting (housing, transportation, utilities and food) as well as insurance and other living expenses.student at the junior achievement park, getting his picture taken near the Louisville cardinal bird mascotstudent standing in front of blue background wearing VR gogglesstudents sitting in chairs and lsitening to a speakerstudents writing at a deskstudent sitting in a chair using VR goggles, woman stands beside him to help if neededfour girls sitting at a booth using ipadsstudents walking around and looking at displays on walls at junior achievement
