On April 3 and 4, more than 350 JAG-Missouri students representing our high school programs from across the state joined us in Jefferson City for our annual Career Development Conference. Over the two days, students competed in a variety of team and individual events, networked with peers and visited legislators.
Listed below are the first through third place finishers in each of our competitions. These finalists will advance to Jobs for America’s Graduates National Career Development Conference in Orlando, Fla., later this month.
