New Hampshire Jobs for America's Graduates New Hampshire Jobs for America's Graduates (NH-JAG) Empowering Youth . . . In-School Programs NH-JAG In-School Program serves middle and high school students from 7th through 12th grades. 7th to 11th grade programs focus on citizenship, improving academic performance and maintaining a connection to school, home and community. 12th grade programs focus on developing additional skills through post-secondary opportunities, job attainment, job survival and basic workplace competencies. Supporting youth in school, work and life. Positive Outcomes Other Youth Programs The NH-JAG Out of School Youth Program focuses on providing employment and training programs for youth ages 18 - 21. Youth are provided with an opportunity to learn valuable work skills through participation in post secondary certificate programs and/or college credits . Job placement occurs while the student is in training. Community Service projects, job shadowing and leadership activities build confidence and provide invaluable workplace skills. Job Specialists play an integral role and a Career Association is developed whereby elected officers engage all students in leadership development, social and civic activities. It is simply impossible to measure all of the positive outcomes that come about when a young adult discovers their unique talents and gains the confidence and self-assuredness to succeed in school, pursue a personally rewarding career, and become a vital contributor to society. What can be measured and what is truly impressive is the performance outcome as meticulously tracked and consistently achieved: • 98% Return to School Rate where students, 7th - 11th grade, are monitored to assure they return to school • 97% Graduation Rate where participants earn a high school diploma or GED Certificate • 87% Placement Rate where graduates are engaged in full-time employment, fulltime military, or combine a postsecondary education with employment "In spite of being born with a drug addiction and living in an abusive home situation, NH-JAG showed me how to believe in myself. Today, I have a great job and am productively living on my own." "Before getting involved with NH-JAG, I was basically lazy and apathetic. Today, I'm well on my way to getting my Bachelor's Degree in a field of study that I love!" “NH-JAG taught me how to gain perspective and not get frustrated. As a result, my selfconfidence and attitude improved and my life has changed for the better.” You can make a difference... Your business can help... Your voice can be heard...
