JAG Program to Celebrate 10 Years Many committees will begin meeting this month.

The Indiana Department of Workforce Development will celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Indiana’s Jobs for America’s Graduates program Tuesday at the Statehouse. The program aims to reduce the rate of high school dropouts among at-risk youth.

The DWD says since 2006, more than 17,000 students have participated in the program, which has a 94 percent graduate rate. Governor Eric Holcomb will be on hand for the event along with DWD Commissioner Steven Braun.

The tenth anniversary celebration is set to begin at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday.
