Innovation Without Limits: How JAG Reaches Every Student, Everywhere

Tuesday July 28, 2026 10:00am - 10:45am EDT

Room 296

This workshop highlights how the Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG) program is intentionally designed to meet students where they are—across rural, urban, and under-resourced communities—by equipping them with the skills needed for success beyond graduation. Participants will explore how JAG integrates project-based learning (PBL) to build essential soft skills such as communication, critical thinking, teamwork, and professionalism, while also strengthening resume writing, interviewing, networking, and career readiness. The session will showcase how hands-on projects, leadership development opportunities, and real-world exposure through guest speakers and community partnerships help uncover students’ strengths, expand their confidence, and broaden their postsecondary outlook. Attendees will leave with practical insights into how JAG’s student-centered, culturally responsive approach supports leadership growth and prepares young people for college, careers, and life.
