PRAGMATIC SOFTWARE PARTNERS WITH JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT
TO PROVIDE ONLINE TRAINING FOR VOLUNTEERS

Junior Achievement (JA) volunteers aid schools nationwide in educating young people about business, economics, and the free enterprise system. To help promote and expand the JA volunteer organization, Pragmatic Software Company delivered an on-line training web site that empowers JA volunteers to quickly become orientated to JA requirements and training methods. The web site covers basic requirements, elementary school, middle grade, and high school programs. Volunteers sign up to the use web site on-line and can use the orientation from anywhere (home or office). JA currently has more than 150 area offices nationwide. With the new web site in place, area offices are expanding to reach more schools.

Pragmatic Software Company teamed with JA and Creative Training Concepts Corporation to get the site up and running in less than 2 months.  "The software was delivered on time and on budget. The thing we liked best was the design of the site, as it was easy to navigate and the way you produced all the right components. The Pragmatic Software team did not need a lot of direction, they knew how to proceed and follow through without guidance. Pragmatic Software was willing to work with us cooperatively and were open to feedback and tweaking. Pragmatic Software is very skilled, we are very satisfied with the solution." says Jeannette Holtham of Junior Achievement.

With the success of the JA Volunteer Orientation web site, Junior Achievement plans to web enable many new training programs including new associate orientation and program management training.  "As we deliver more training programs for JA, we will continue to partner with Creative Training Concepts Corporation for content development.  Creative Training Concepts are experts at training material development, we have been very pleased with their offerings" says Steve Miller, President of Pragmatic Software Co., Inc.
