On April 4-5, JAG-Missouri hosted our annual Career Development Conference. Nearly 400 members of the JAG-Missouri family participated – about 300 students and approximately 90 specialists and chaperones from the 98 JAG-Missouri programs in 67 schools across the state.
The Career Development Conference is an opportunity for JAG students to compete in events that help to develop the skillsets they will need to transition successfully into future college courses or careers. Participants prepare for months to highlight the talents and attributes they have developed through their time spent in the JAG program.
