Helping Arizona youth achieve greater success!

Jobs for Arizona’s Graduates (JAG AZ) gives students an advantage as they complete high school and prepare to enter the workforce using a three-pronged approach to professional skill development:

A home away from home: JAG knows that the people in a young person’s life have the greatest ability to influence their direction. For that reason, all JAG programs are centered on a Program Coordinator, who serves as teacher, mentor, coach, and advisor, working with each participant to address any school-related challenges, guide them through their career and college exploration, and empower them to take on their biggest goals.

Learning Beyond the classroom: JAG students don’t sit at desks, they are given opportunities to learn and practice new skills through leadership, career exploration, and community service activities of their choosing through the JAG Career Association. JAG projects reinforce critical workplace skills including communication, collaboration, critical thinking, problem solving, and teamwork.

Building a network: JAG partners bring career opportunities to life for students, giving them hands-on career exploration and face to face interaction with a network of employer representatives who are excited to share their career stories.
