Indiana General Assembly celebrates the state's "Jobs for American Graduates" (JAG) program on its 10th anniversary, recognizing the organization's mission to help young people graduate high school and provide work-based learning experiences.

JAG Indiana class of 2015 achieved a 94% graduation rate, with 88% of graduates enrolled in post-secondary education, military service, or gainfully employed.

Program has supported over 17,000 students since Governor Mitchell E. Daniels launched JAG Indiana in 2006, and the state doubled its investment in 2013 under Governor Michael R. Pence.

As of 2017, JAG operates 112 in-school and out-of-school programs throughout Indiana with 165 staff members, making it the largest state affiliate program in the country.

Secretary of the Senate is directed to transmit a copy of the resolution to Brenda Summers of the Indiana Department of Workforce Development.
