Job Summary

It is the responsibility of the JAG Specialist to provide relevant and challenging classroom, virtual (on occasion) and work-based learning experiences for 40 participants who are committed to developing their personal, leadership and employability skills to ensure graduation from high school and positive post-graduate outcomes.

The primary location will be at the High School and will require the ability to give classroom instruction of all aspects of the JAG program including the completion of JAG program applications, classroom instruction, career counseling and support with students.

Understanding the importance of accountability, the JAG Specialist uses the National Data Management System - a database program placed on the computer that will be used to track participants, services delivered, and outcomes achieved.

After placement, the JAG Specialist will be responsible for no less than monthly contact with graduates (and non-graduates) and no less than five employer follow-up contacts over the 12-month follow-up period.

The JAG Specialist will provide assistance to the non-graduate to complete high school graduation requirements or a GED certificate and provide graduates with employment, retention and advancement assistance during the 12-month follow-up phase.
