Jobs for New Hampshire's Graduates Program Descriptions

Out-Of-School Programs at the Community Technical Colleges

Our out of school programs focus on reattaching our high school dropouts with the academic skills necessary to succeed in life. One of the highlights of this program is the unique partnership with the New Hampshire Community Technical Colleges who provide space and support for our programs; it allows the students to experience the world of post-secondary education while completing the GED certificate.

Multi-Year Programs

The Multi-Year Program serves high school students from 9th through 12th grade. The seniors gain additional skills in post-secondary opportunities, job attainment, job survival and basic workplace competencies. The 9th to 11th graders focus more on staying in school, citizenship, improving their academic status and maintaining a connection to school, home and community. Our Job Specialists play an integral role in that success.

Key Components of the Multi-Year program include:

Career Association:

Student led organization that provides students with the following opportunities:

• Undertake social and civic responsibilities
• Build leadership skills
• Learn how to work in a group setting
• Become active in a student club or association for the first time in their high school year

Special Events

The purpose of this ceremony is to celebrate the students’ involvement in the JAG program and official membership in the Career Association.

Career Development Conference:

This is the highlight of the school year and provides the opportunity for graduating seniors to attend career development workshops, leadership development workshops, competitive events (both individual and team) and receive recognition and awards:
