The JAG Instructor will be committed to developing students' personal, leadership, and employability skills to ensure graduation from high school and positive post-graduate outcomes.
The ultimate outcome of the JAG Program is to place graduates in quality jobs (after graduation) which lead to a career in their chosen field or to guide the graduate toward a postsecondary education that fits his/her career goal. After placement, the JAG Specialist will be responsible for no less than monthly contacts with graduates (and non-graduates) and no less than six employer follow-up contacts over the 12-month follow-up period. The ideal JAG Specialist will provide assistance to the non-graduate to complete high school graduation requirements or a high school equivalency diploma (GED) and will provide graduates with employment, retention, and advancement assistance during the 12-month follow-up phase.
