Jobs for North Carolina’s Graduates is a program of the National Jobs For America’s Graduates (JAG) organization.
The Problem: Across the nation, thousands of young people face tremendous barriers to thriving in school and in life. On average, JNCG students face 11 obstacles ranging from poverty to past trauma.
The Solution: JAG is the national program that’s solving these challenges – and the only all-inclusive program of its kind. Our Specialists teach elective classes for credit in high schools, middle schools and out-of-school school programs. We provide vital job skills, hands-on experience, and a year of follow-up to support the transition from graduation to employment, military service, and/or post-secondary education.
