An advocate of education programs for the youth, FedEx entered into a sponsorship agreement with Junior Achievement Worldwide™ in 2007. Since then, FedEx has supported the JA ITC program that aims to educate students in Asia Pacific countries about how entrepreneurship can improve the quality of their lives and the communities they live in. After implementing the joint FedEx/JA program in 11 Asian markets, the program was expanded in 2009 to include the Philippines.
