On Friday, January 20th WorkOne hosted the 6th Annual JAG Career Development Conference on the campus of Ivy Tech Community College.

The event brought together JAG (Jobs for America’s Graduates) Students from all of the programs in our Region. The students participated in various competitions, such as Employability Skills, Financial Literacy, Career Presentation, Creative Solutions, etc. to demonstrate the skills they have developed in the program.

This program helps students develop the knowledge and skills they will need to successfully enter the workforce. Once again, local Employers and Community Leaders volunteered their time to serve as judges for the event.
