Each year, FedEx is involved in two flagship initiatives – the FedEx Express / JA International Trade Challenge (FedEx / JA ITC) and Young Enterprise (YE) Program. Both programs are organised in collaboration with Junior Achievement Malaysia (JA Malaysia), one of the world’s largest non-governmental organizations dedicated to addressing fundamental social and economic challenges of young people through a series of in-school and after-school programs.
FedEx / JA ITC
The FedEx / JA ITC provides the platform for students to gain first-hand experience of international trade and entrepreneurship, while cultivating a business mindset, comprising two key activities – the International Trade Workshops and the International Trade Challenge. As part of the challenge, students in teams of two develop a specific product or service and create an original international market entry strategy for a designated country. The program has been running successfully for 12 years in Malaysia since 2008, and today, is carried out across 9 Asia Pacific markets namely Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and Australia.
Young Enterprise
The YE Program is an initiative held in national schools, encouraging students to tap into the opportunity of experiencing a complete business cycle. They participate to gain practical know-how, right from registering their company, raising capital, selling shares, product ideation, manufacturing their own products, selling the products, financial reporting of the company and voluntarily liquidating the company. The main goal of the 9-month program is to help students hone their soft skills which are essential for entrepreneurs, such as communication, critical observation, conflict resolution and leadership through a series of workshops.
Both programs have impacted over 7,000 students to date.
