Continuing education is an important aspect of empowering members to reach their highest goals in the international jewelry, watch, and related industries. WJA recognizes the importance of professional education for those already in the industry.

You may qualify for one of a limited number of grants with a value of up to $500. Grants can be applied to classes and/or materials that include industry related studies, as well as financial, business, marketing and other courses that contribute to making us better employees, managers, and business owners in this industry.
