Our drive to jobs in skilled trades is creating sparks! As employer partnerships continue to grow, so do opportunities for our students.
Just last week, iJAG student Matthew Deshamp of GMG High School earned first place in a welding competition open to students across the state. The competition took place at the Skilled Trades Convention hosted by the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) of Iowa.
Iowa student leaders shine in D.C.
Earlier this month, eight student leaders joined staff members for an annual trip to Washington, D.C.
