The EY Ripples Team in SGV finished its three mentoring sessions held in the last quarter of 2021 through the JA Business Skills Pass program. Co-organized with Junior Achievement Philippines Incorporated (JAPI), the program continued from last year’s mentoring sessions where high school students created registered mini companies. SGV volunteers provided advice and insights on the students’ business plans. These involved topics including raising capital, accounting, and marketing and selling the companies’ products.
