Junior Achievement, BBB to develop workplace behavior program for teens

YOUNGSTOWN — Junior Achievement of the Mahoning Valley has partnered with a local business watchdog to teach local high school students the proper way to behave in the workplace.

The Youngstown Better Business Bureau has joined the local chapter of Junior Achievement to start Project Work Readiness.
