2015 JAG Career Development Conference

Details

Created: Thursday, 22 January 2015 15:38

Throughout the school year, the JAG classes in our area learn the skills they need to compete in today’s workforce.  On Friday, January 16th, they got to put those skills to the test. 

Over 100 JAG Students from Clay, Parke, Putnam, Sullivan and Vigo Counties gathered on the campus of Ivy Tech Community College to participate in the 4th annual Career Development Conference. 

The students displayed their skills in a variety of competitions designed to highlight what they have learned.  The competitors got to meet with local Employers and Community Leaders, who volunteered to participate as judges for the events.

In addition to the competition, the students enjoyed lunch from Casey’s and listened to presentations from Ivy Tech Community College and Vincennes University about programs available to the students after they complete High School.

Those students who finished in First Place will get to compete at the State JAG Conference in March.

Congratulations to everyone who competed and good luck at the State Finals!
