Introduction:

The Canadian Junior Leadership Experience (CJLE) is an annual virtual event hosted by Canada FBLA, bringing together 200+ pre-secondary students from across the country to compete in 5 different competitive events and participate in a wide range of workshops, seminars, and non-competitive events. Students are provided ample opportunity to learn about the world of business and develop essential skills to become a future business leader.

The top three competitors in each event are eligible for cash prizes of $100, $50, and $25 respectively along with the top 20 competitors of each event being provided certificates of achievement.

CJLE will be hosted completely virtually this year across the month of May.
