High school students in Putnam and Sullivan counties continue to prepare for productive career opportunities and develop career readiness skills through JAG programs administered by the Western Indiana Workforce Development Board. “In addition to the skills developed in the classroom, after graduation, through JAG follow-up, these students stay connected, celebrating their wins, offering support, and are encouraged to take advantage of the strong network that exists to support their next steps,” said Trusler.
He added that in addition to the JAG programs, WorkOne Youth programs “help youth in all our six-county region counties prepare for their post high-school careers. If you are under the age of 24 and would like more information about our Youth Services, please contact your local WorkOne office.” https://www.workonewest.com/about-us/office-locations-hours.
