A simulation of the JA More Than Money lesson
took place directly after the speeches. HSBC
volunteers engaged a mix of students from
several schools in one of the classrooms
attended by the media and VIP’s. Two of the
volunteers were graduates of the school so it
was great to have them back in the classroom. |

JA TITAN BUSINESS SIMULATION COMPETITION IN
INDONESIA |
|
PJI was very pleased to have the support of
Accenture Corporation and Bina Nusantara
University’s International Campus to stage the
JA TITAN Business Simulation Competition during
Saturday and Sunday 16-17 January. Using the
Colorado JA Worldwide server students from high
school and university levels competed to attain
the honor of JA TITAN’s of Business.
Approximately one hundred teams competed in the
event representing schools from as far away as
East Kalimantan and Medan which culminated in a
final round on Sunday evening. The competition
was organized by the BITE JA Student Company
from Bina Nusantara University and, over the
duration of the two days they were assisted by
volunteers from Accenture.
Although all participants excelled in this event
an extraordinary result occurred in the high
school competition. All three top teams came
from the same school – SMK26. This is a State
school with PJI programs sponsored by PT Newmont
Pacific Nusantara and the institution caters for
students from the lower socio-economic level.
The prize money received by each of the teams
will undoubtedly be used to support
participant’s ongoing education. |

School, second place was University of Indonesia
and third place went to the team from STT Telkom.
This is the third year we have worked with BITE
Company to stage this competition and each year
the number of teams involved continues to grow.
PJI and the students involved in this innovative
learning experience are very grateful to both
Accenture and Bina Nusantara University for
their support.
