Jobs for America’s Graduates (“JAG”).

In keeping with Strategic Partnerships’ depth of experience in education and workforce issues, the firm led in the design of the Jobs for America’s Graduates program 44 years ago and has managed the national non-profit since then. The JAG program serves some of the nation’s most at‑risk and challenged youth and young adults, with consistently high levels of success. Since its inception, Jobs for America’s Graduates has served some 1.6 million youth and young adults in need, with graduation rates of 90% or above. Participation in JAG doubles the rate at which poor and disadvantaged youth secure work, nearly triples the rate at which young women and minorities secure full-time jobs, and nearly doubles the rate at which this population enrolls and persists in postsecondary education.  

Today, JAG operates in 1,600 communities in 39 states. In this 2023-2024 school year, it will likely serve around 80,000 youth and young adults, through a combination of in‑school and out‑of‑school programs.  

Reflecting the value JAG offers to its participants, the communities in which it operates, and the companies who hire JAG graduates, ten Governors serve on JAG’s national Board of Directors – the largest number of Governors to serve on any board in the country. They join Members of Congress, “C-suite” executives from Fortune 500 companies, and leaders from national non‑profit and membership organizations. Further reflecting the value of the JAG program, some 19,000 employers regularly hire JAG’s young people each year because they are so well prepared for work, having mastered JAG’s 37 Employability Competencies during high school.     

Corporations.

Creation Of New Senior Leader Advisory Boards And Enhancements Of Boards Of Directors

Strategic Partnerships is well known for its assistance in the design and successful creation of new Strategic Advisory Boards, National Boards of Counselors, and enhancements to existing Boards of Directors. SP has demonstrated its ability to recruit top-level leaders nationally and globally for those Boards, bringing new sources of expert counsel, relationships, and insights to extend the reach and visibility of the non-profit and for-profit client organizations. In addition, SP assists with identification and recruitment of leaders to join Boards, filling important gaps in the expertise and experience of those Boards and/or bringing new sources of knowledge, expertise, and relationships to that Board.

If our clients wish, Strategic Partnerships will manage the Advisory Boards to maximize the value of the new leaders’ participation.
