JAG PROGRAMMING IS CONDUCTED ON-SITE AT SCHOOLS DURING SCHOOL HOURS.

THE JAG MODEL INCORPORATES THE JAG ADVANTAGE WHICH, INCLUDES THREE KEY COMPONENTS PROVEN TO ENSURE STUDENTS' DEVELOPMENT AND SUCCESS: EMPLOYER ENGAGEMENT, TRAUMA INFORMED CARE AND PROJECT BASED LEARNING. EMPLOYER ENGAGEMENT - EMPLOYERS INTERACT WITH JAG STUDENTS IN THE CLASSROOM - AND ON THE JOB. AS PART OF THE JAG PROGRAMMING, COMPANY REPRESENTATIVES ARE INVITED INTO THE CLASSROOM, WHERE THEY BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE STUDENTS AND TEACH THEM VALUABLE SKILLS THAT COMPANIES ARE SEEKING IN NEW HIRES. STUDENTS WILL THEN BE ABLE TO VISIT THE REPRESENTATIVE'S COMPANY, AND POTENTIALLY, VISUALIZE THEMSELVES WORKING THERE. TRAUMA INFORMED CARE - CAREER SPECIALISTS ARE TRAINED TO PROVIDE TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE AND CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE ALL STUDENTS TO BE SUCCESSFUL. TO BE TRAUMA-INFORMED IS TO UNDERSTAND THE CHALLENGES OUR STUDENTS FACE AND PROVIDE SUPPORTS AND ADDITIONAL RESOURCES SO THAT THEY CAN OVERCOME THOSE BARRIERS. IT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ASKING "WHAT HAPPENED?" INSTEAD OF "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?" PROJECT BASED LEARNING - THIS FRAMEWORK AND INSTRUCTIONAL LEARNING STRATEGY PROVIDES STUDENTS WITH A VOICE AND THE CHOICE TO DRIVE WHAT THEY DO THROUGH HANDS-ON PROJECTS. THESE PROJECTS HELP THEM DEVELOP REAL WORLD COMPETENCIES THAT EMPLOYERS ARE SEEKING. THE PROJECTS ALSO GIVE THE STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO USE THEIR SKILLS AND TALENTS TO SHOWCASE WHAT THEY KNOW THROUGH PUBLIC PRODUCTS THAT ARE RELEVANT TO THEIR INTERESTS AND APTITUDES.
