Congrats to LHS student, Eeve Williams, for placing in the competition!
(Indianapolis, Ind.) - Over 175 high school students from across the state "came together" to compete in the 12th annual Jobs for America's Graduates (JAG) Career Development Conference on Friday, May 8.
This event was originally scheduled in March; however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic was rescheduled to be held virtually.
JAG is a state-based, national non-profit organization administered by the Indiana Department of Workforce Development (DWD).
“The JAG program helps students to graduate from high school with a better sense of self, including their capability of setting and achieving career goals,” Payne said. “JAG students participating in this year’s event received the recognition that they so rightly deserve.”
The Career Development Conference allows JAG students to present their talents while competing in 11 different categories for financial prizes with their peers.
This year, the regional winners faced a new challenge of competing virtually by send their efforts in for judging.
Locally, Lawrenceburg High School Student, Eeve Williams, received 2nd place in the Writing Skills category.
DWD Commissioner Fred Payne, Associate Chief of Workforce Programs Leslie Crist and Director of Youth Initiatives Brianna Morse presented the 2020 awards to winners.
