Zebra’s ET40 tablets help the non-profit
deliver immersive courses on financial and business literacy for
public school students
Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), a leading digital
solution provider enabling businesses to intelligently connect
data, assets, and people, today announced that Junior Achievement
of South Florida selected Zebra’s enterprise Android™ tablets to
create interactive, simulated real-life financial and business
literacy courses for junior high and high school students. Before
moving to this paperless approach, Junior Achievement faculty
printed course packets for thousands of students each year.
Junior Achievement of South Florida is part of the world’s
largest organization dedicated to giving young people the knowledge
and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their
future, and make smart academic and economic choices. As part of
its mission to better prepare students for real-world scenarios,
Junior Achievement of South Florida now offers interactive courses
on Zebra’s ET40 tablets on business and financial fundamentals,
including career path choices.
“Zebra’s tablets have helped Junior Achievement of South Florida
take existing course capabilities to the next level by offering an
interactive experience for the students,” said Monica McNerney,
Chief Operating Officer, Junior Achievement of South Florida.
“Using Zebra’s innovative tablets, Junior Achievement’s national
office is transitioning to a computer-based teaching model to
reduce paper consumption and take advantage of the endless
expansion possibilities.”
Students use the tablets to learn and perform their simulated
roles in real-life business and financial situations, with access
to resources, checklists, and videos on Zebra’s ET40 tablets.
Centuric, a technology consultant for Junior Achievement and a
Solution Partner in Zebra’s PartnerConnect program, was
instrumental in setting up this new approach.
“We recommended Zebra’s ET40 tablets to Junior Achievement
because of their long lifecycle, durability, long-lasting
batteries, and terrific graphics,” said Frank Peluso, Chief
Technical Officer, Centuric. “We know these tablets are sturdy with
a robust operating system, and their six-year lifecycle helps when
dealing with capital planning.”
Each Junior Achievement location offers different educational
programs and has different needs, but Junior Achievement of South
Florida sees Zebra’s ET40 tablets as a critical part of its
long-term vision to empower youth with the knowledge, ability and
confidence to navigate their future.
“We are delighted our enterprise rugged tablets are a useful
tool to help educate youth,” said Julie Johnson, Senior Vice
President and General Manager, Enterprise Mobile Computing, Zebra
Technologies. “Our tablets are engineered to excel in the most
