Helping JAG-K students prepare for successful futures requires year-round commitment. Summer, therefore, is no vacation for JAG-K career specialists.
Career specialists maintain their close connections to students during the summer to help them continue their development. They help their students with seasonal employment, educational enrichment, credit recovery and and provide emotional support when necessary.
Summer presents life-changing opportunities to JAG-K students. Whether it’s through camps, job shadowing, work opportunities, etc., career specialists help students line up applications, interviews, enrollment or whatever else they need to obtain those experiences.
Throughout the summer, specialists find creative ways to help students stay connected and focused on their success. Whether it’s getting students together for a service project, sharing ice cream at a park, or meeting at a swimming pool, they make sure students feel supported.
Below you will find a couple of great stories of how we are seizing upon summer to help students prepare for successful futures.
