Jobs for America's Graduates (JAG)
The Jobs for America's Graduates (JAG) program is offered to freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors across Indiana. River Valley Resources has partnered with 17 school corporations in Southeastern Indiana to offer 22 JAG programs. Those schools include Brownstown, Crothersville, Franklin County, Greensburg Community High School, Jennings County, Jac-Cen-Del, Lawrenceburg, Madison, Medora, Milan, North Decatur, Seymour, South Dearborn, South Decatur, South Ripley, Southwestern, and Switzerland County. Madison has two programs, and Seymour and Lawrenceburg have three programs.
The JAG Program is a one-credit-hour class offered in these high schools as an elective. While in JAG, the students work on various competencies, including financial literacy, public speaking, resume writing, and college/industry tours. Each student is determined eligible on a case-by-case basis, and the selection criteria are not the same.
If you are a student at one of our participating high schools and would like to be involved, please notify your JAG Specialists or guidance staff to enroll. For community leaders, business owners, or organizations wanting to participate in our JAG program, please contact the following JAG managers and coordinators.
