About me
For over 25 years, Iowa Jobs for America’s Graduates (iJAG) has empowered Iowa’s youth to succeed, thrive, and step confidently into their future. Through strong partnerships and innovative programs, we bridge the gap between education and employment, helping students build the skills, confidence, and networks they need to move successfully to the next stage of their lives. iJAG provides targeted support, mentorship, and real-world experiences that enable students to unlock their potential, develop essential employability skills, and access career pathways that might otherwise be out of reach. The iJAG advantage combines career exploration, work-based learning, and a trauma-informed approach to foster personal growth and sustainable success beyond graduation. By addressing both the academic and the well-being of students, iJAG empowers students to not only graduate but to transition effectively into the workforce, higher education, or technical training.
