South Carolina’s JAG program - Jobs for America’s Graduates - was honored as a “2007-2008 Top State Organization for Multi-Year Programs”. Also, 6 individual career specialists from the 14 JAG-SC programs statewide were recognized at the 25th Annual National Training Seminar for Jobs for America’s Graduates.

Based on the program’s early success in 14 pilot programs throughout the state, a $150,000 JAG Growth Incentive Fund award, sponsored by Verizon, will allow the program to expand to 5 additional schools next year. The award will be matched with funding from the South Carolina Department of Education and contributions from the South Carolina Department of Commerce.
