Jyväskylä Educational Consortium Gradia has been awarded the 2019 Entrepreneurial School Award by JA Europe. The Entrepreneurial School awards is an annual recognition by JA Europe, which aims to provide a supportive and motivational framework to guide education providers, headmasters and teachers from across Europe in their entrepreneurial learning initiatives. 

Junior Achievement (JA) is the world's largest organisation providing entrepreneurship and consumer education for young people. In Finland it is represented by Junior Achievement Finland.  

The Entrepreneurial School Awards took place in Helsinki as part of the European Vocational Skills Week on 16 October 2019.
