Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG)

  • Nathan Hale offers JAG. Students participate in the program during the school day, which is led by JAG Career Specialist Ms. Dashel Lee, who is also a certified teacher. Here at Nathan Hale, our mission is to achieve academic growth and create a community of productive citizens who can compete globally. We feel that JAG supports our mission by providing support for our students and introducing them to various careers. JAG also provides leadership opportunities for the students within the program, and teaches them valuable life skills.


    What is the JAG?
    JAG believes all young people are capable of greatness. They also believe that greatness is seldom achieved alone. That’s why JAG Nebraska is committed to providing in-school support for students. By helping them develop their skillsets and overcome hurdles, we set them up for success in the classroom and the workplace.


    How it Works
    JAG programming is conducted on-site at schools during school hours. Trained Career Specialists work with JAG students to help them master 37 skills that will set them up for success in their future careers.  

    Throughout the duration of the program, students build relationships with local employers; engage in project-based learning; develop leadership, civic and social responsibility through a student-led career association; and engage in career research that will lay the foundation for job opportunities after high school graduation.
