Nominations are open to anyone who will be 18 or younger during the 2024-2025 school year. Each student can apply for one or two career cluster areas of interest among the 16 available. If two career clusters are chosen, the student must submit a separate video/essay response for each career cluster. Nominees must reside within the Junior Achievement Middletown Area school district. The deadline for applications is at 11:59 p.m. on Oct. 25.
All applications will be reviewed by a panel of experts in each career cluster field.
