“Junior Achievement has been a fantastic successto date for Wyeth. Our employees have volunteered450 hours of their time to deliver JA programmes ineight local primary and secondary schools. We havewelcomed over 300 students to Grange Castle to seeat first hand life in a Biotech company.

Junior Achievement is a perfect opportunity topromote science in a fun and interactive manner.It is important that students get to know companiesin their area and understand the potential careeropportunities available to them.

The feedback which we have received fromvolunteers, teachers and students leaves me inno doubt that we are certainly making a positivedifference.”
