What is JAG (Jobs For New Jersey's Graduates)?

Jobs for New Jersey’s Graduates is a course designed to prepare students for employment, apprenticeships, and college. Students will participate in project-based learning activities during class that will teach them career-ready skills such as problem-solving, group collaboration, community service, leadership, personal development, and team building. Job and life skills activities will include resume writing, career assessment and research, the college admission process, preparation for employment, interviewing, public speaking, and financial literacy. Students will have the opportunity to participate in the Career Association, an organization created to provide leadership experiences through program planning and service learning. Career-based field trips include employer engagement experiences such as job-shadowing and opportunities for attendance at state and national conferences.
