Insight PA Cyber Charter School, a K-12 online public school serving students across Pennsylvania, is proud to offer the Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG) program to its 11th and 12th grade students. This unique program is designed to prepare students for college, careers, and the workforce through hands-on learning and real-world experiences.

What is the JAG Program?

The JAG Program at Insight PA equips students with the tools they need to succeed after high school, whether they pursue higher education or enter the workforce. Students gain valuable insights into their future through leadership activities, career exploration, job skills development, and project-based learning. Participants can join a Career Association, work directly with industry professionals through guest speaker sessions and work-based learning, and engage in meaningful projects connecting education to real-world applications.

This semester, Insight PA’s JAG program is off to an exciting start, with students actively engaging in career readiness, leadership, and hands-on learning. Elections were recently held for JAG Career Association officers, and the newly chosen student leaders are already making an impact. These leadership roles help students build teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills—key elements of future career success.

A Proven Pathway to Success

JAG is a nationwide initiative with a track record of transforming students’ futures. Across 39 states, the JAG National Network serves over 76,000 youth annually, helping them confidently graduate and move forward. With an impressive 95.7% graduation rate, JAG students are far more likely to complete high school than their peers. But the benefits don’t stop there.

JAG graduates are 230% more likely to secure full-time employment and twice as likely to pursue higher education. The program is designed to set students up for lasting success, helping them gain the skills and mindset needed to thrive in their careers. By focusing on real-world application, leadership, and personal development, JAG students leave high school ready to take on new challenges and make a meaningful impact in their communities.

Competing at the PA Career Development Conference

In addition to leadership and skill-building activities, Insight PA JAG students are gearing up for the Pennsylvania Career Development Conference (CDC) on March 14th at Arcadia University. They will compete against other PA JAG programs in six categories:

  • Career Preparation
  • Creative Decision-Making

Top competitors from this event will earn the opportunity to travel to Indiana in April for the National Career Association event, where they will represent Insight PA on a national stage!
