               students from other schools. Students will choose a sponsor company or JA will place
               students with a sponsor company. Students will attend weekly meetings at their sponsor
               company business location. The day & time of the weekly meetings will be announced
               before the program kicks-off so that students can choose a company based on their
               schedule and transportation ability.
