I recently met with a member of Junior Achievement, Jeremy DiCarlo, who is President of a company called Hello! Greeting Cards. The company has created a number of greeting cards featuring Guelph images.
Jeremy is a local grade 10 student, and he created the company with other students who are involved in Junior Achievement Guelph-Wellington. JA is an organization created by high school students to take on the challenges of a real-life business. They do everything from coming up with an idea, to conducting market research, to production and sales for their product.
Entrepreneurs and small business owners are the engine of the local economy. It was great to meet a young entrepreneur like Jeremy and hear about his experiences with Junior Achievement.
Hello! Greeting Cards offers cards for the holidays, birthdays, as well as blank cards. For more information, contact Ramona Ostrander at 519-821-7563 or e-mail Ramona@jaguelphwellington.org.
