Nechýbal index, prednášky, cvičenia, ani záverečná promócia s odovzdávaním diplomov. „Veríme, že sme v účastníkoch AJA vyvolali ešte väčší záujem o techniku a v budúcnosti ich budeme môcť v našom závode stretávať ako študentov Duálnej akadémie alebo zamestnancov VW SK,“ uviedol Eric Reuting, člen predstavenstva VW SK pre personálnu oblasť.
Počas jedného týždňa čakal na žiakov atraktívny program, v rámci ktorého nazreli do sveta výroby automobilov, techniky, vedy a výskumu. Absolvovali prehliadky viacerých výrobných hál, pútavé prednášky o zodpovednej výrobe, filozofii Think Blue. Factory. a ochrane životného prostredia, ako aj interaktívne workshopy v triedení odpadu. Okrem odborného programu boli pre účastníkov pripravené aj zážitkové jazdy vo vozidle s čisto elektrickým pohonom Volkswagen e-up! a adrenalínové jazdy na offroadovej dráhe, kde prekovávali prekážky ako vodný brod, schody, kopec so 100-percentným stúpaním či pieskové duny.

Cieľom AJA je zvýšiť záujem verejnosti o techniku, motivovať deti k štúdiu technických odborov a systémovo pokračovať v reforme vzdelávania pre potreby praxe a v adekvátnej príprave na povolanie a kariérne poradenstvo už na základnej škole. Účastníkom AJA bol predstavený tiež moderný koncept duálneho vzdelávania na Slovensku.
